PM replied.... I'll post it here for future searchers.

My build thread shows more pictures of how I ran the lines. It also lists the part numbers and website I ordered from. It's pretty straight forward.

https://www.rx7club.com/build-threads-292/94-build-gt35r-re-vmount-whole-lot-more-now-pistons-932044/

The lines run as follows:
From oil filter flange to drivers cooler - drivers cooler to passenger cooler - passenger cooler to front cover.

The fittings are explained below....

QTY....OIL COOLER FITTINGS

4.... Male 22 MM X1.5 MM metric concave seat -10 AN aluminum..----- Fittings for the oil coolers. 2 per cooler.
2.... 45 degree alu -10 hose end.------- For the hose ends running to the passenger side cooler. Gives it a slight angle.
2.... straight alu -10 hose end.------ For the hose ends running to the drivers side cooler. Easily a straight shot.
1.... male 18 MM X 1.5 Metric concave seat to -10 AN steel..------ Fitting for the oil petastool hole
2.... 90 degree alum -10 hose end........................................------ For the hose ends running to the oil petastool and for the bango bolt on the front cover
1.... "Metric Banjo -AN Male"............................................. ....------ For the front cover
1.... banjo bolt.............................................. ........................ ------For the front cover
2.... seals............................................. ................................------- For the bango on the front cover

I don't run an under-tray because of my Vmount so my lines were very easy to run. If you have to change the 4 hose ends to make them run at a different angle then so be it. Overall, what I listed should work.

Also suggest buying Setrab 22 MM X1.5 fittings, they come with an O-ring and are way cheaper than others.

Part number: SET-M22AN08-SE

I just bought the rest of the fittings and stainless braided line for my dual cooler upgrade. Using Earl's twin 19 row coolers with 10an fittings and 10an hose. You need to get 2 18mm to 10an adapter fittings for the oil pedestal and front cover where the banjo bolts would normally be. Racing Beat sells these for a reasonable price - $14.00 each. Best part is you know these are going to work. I would recommend getting some form of oil thermostat if you are going the aftermarket route, something like the Mocal 180º thermostat. Do a search on google, you might find something leading back to here since I believe the search function is not currently working. I can take parts/before/during/after pics and send them via PM if you'd like. Or I could post them up here on your thread, whichever you prefer. Hope this helps somewhat.
