You can also make them yourself with braided stainless and AN fittings. There is a topic in the archives covering this.

i searched for that thread. i am not familiar with AN fittings and such, ive never messed with them before. here are the sizes i found in that thread
fcm2243, -8adapter, 16mmx1.5 need 1 (engine block, front)
fcm2244, -8adapter, 18x1.5 needed 3 (oil cooler and rear of block)
fcm1012, -8an fitting, needed 4 (this is a straight fitting, you could run a 45 and 3-90 degree)
now, from what ive read i think i want a -12 size fitting..so do i just substitute -8 in the size for -12 when i go to buy them? EX. -12 16mmx1.5 ? i think id rather put together my own lines than pay more for some.

-8 is way too small. -10 is normal. -12 is big, but nothing wrong with that. Yes, just substitute -12 parts if you want -12. Not sure if some of the metric adapters are easily available in -12 though. Might have to hit up a local hydraulic store for those fittings.

Go here at Mazdatrix: http://www.mazdatrix.com/q-supply.htm

The lines are/should be -10. They also sell the adapters.

I bought the adapters from them years ago but bought the lines/end fittings from Pegasus or SummitRacing one or the other.

The archeive article is this: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.php?t=270545
