need some info on oil cooler lines

hey guys,

so I searched high and low on the forum looking for information on the 2nd gen oil cooler lines.. I want to make my own since mine are garbage.
The problem is I didnt find anything on what size fittings are needed. I know I should run -10 an hose.
Iv heard the front fitting is a 16mm and the rear is a 18mm. then Iv heard its 18mm fittings for both???

Can someone help me out.

You can buy the adapter fittings from Racing beat. The front cover connection is the 16mm, the rear iron connection is 18mm and the two on the oil cooler are 18mm. I was going to build my own lines awhile back, but figured it would cost me about $180 at the cheapest, so I bought braided lines from Corksport instead for $130. The metric to -AN adapter fittings alone will cost you $52.
