Buy or Build Oil cooler lines.?.?.?

Hi all, my 7 started leaking oil from the cooler line so I have decided to replace them. I have searched and found 2 threads listed below that mighe be helpful.
I just wanted to make sure I am going to order the right parts...

The problem im seeing is that in one thread it states https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...l+cooler+lines

"Oil Cooler: Front Cover is M16 x 1.5 — Rear of engine and both oil cooler are M18 x 1.5"

So this means that three of them are M18 and one is M16 correct?
But in the "Custom oil cooler lines part list" thread it states https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...l+cooler+lines

(3) -10 >16mm THD adaptors $9.50 per fitting =$28.50 PN#11901
(1) -10 >18mm THD adaptor $9.50 per fitting =$9.50
PN#11902
(3) Sealing washers $1.25 per fitting=$3.75
PN#41-6000-9956
(1) Sealing washers $1.25 per fitting=$1.25
Mazdatrix Total: $43.00

So this would mean 3 M16 and 1 M18 THD adapters...


So far im thinking I would need 4 sealing washers, 1 45 degree fitting, 3 90 degree fittings, 8 ft of -10 AN hose and the AN to THD adapters... Is this correct. If someone can help me out on this that would be great!!!!

I really don't know what is meant by THD other then perhaps "thread".

So you need 3 M18 x 1.5 (two oil cooler and one engine) and one M16 x 1.5 (front cover).

You need 3 sealing washers for the M18 (same as the stock copper crush washers on the banjo bolts) and one sealing washer for M16 (same as the stock fitting).

Additionally you need 3 90 degree -10 hose ends and one 45 degree -10 end, and about 8 feet of hose.

Maybe a little less then 8 feet, but it's always nice to have some extra.
