Sakebomb's oil pedestal help

So I searched and couldn't find out where the 2 supplied washers go. Everything else seems pretty self explanatory. I assume the are for the banjo bolt?
You guys use any kind of thread tape or locktite on any of the threads? I know it is under pressure unlike the sump (obviously) and I dont want any leaks (obviously)

I want to run my temp sensor in this area to see what my cooler is doing, but of course I dont want to mess it up and have leaks everywhere. I wouldn't mind running a larger filter hence why I figured this may be a good mod.

Banjo bolt off then 2 10mm nuts for pedestal. Install o-rings. Make sure studs are lined up, tighten nuts to around 8lbs. Attach banjo bolt and filter and that's it? Maybe I will see what the washers are for when I remove banjo? I dont like getting into job without knowing details and couldn't find a diagram.
So again as of now I have no idea about washers and wether or not to use tape or locktite. Sorry for the questions. I am learning as I go. I never did this before, just like I never did a fuel pump before. The pump was easy and I hope this is too.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Should of come in a little bag with the rest of the hardware.
I just did my Sakebomb oil pedestal as well.
You might be able to reuse the nuts from the old pedestal, should be the same size and thread pitch.

Thanks Mid. I was hoping to hear that (reuse factory bolts that is). Yes everything else is in the little sealed section of the bag except those.
