Making oil feed/returne lines

So it looks like there may be a leak at my oil feed line so I thought what the hell just replace it with stainless braided lines. It looks pretty strait forward to put the lines together I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

24" of -4 stainless steel braided line
24" of -10 stainless steel braided line
AN Auto-Flex Hose | ANplumbing.com

-4 45 edge fitting
-4 straight fitting
-10 45 edge fitting
-10 straight fitting
AN Autofit | Autocrimp Hose Ends | ANplumbing.com

Now what kind of Bangor bolt do I need or could I just re use the stock one? Where is a decent place to get the flanges? And lastly is there a universal gasket that I could just cut out? Thanks

looks like your talking about the stock twins, in which case, IMO, you should probably just replace the gaskets. seems like a lot of work and expense for an oil feed with really no benefit over stock.
The stock setup is generally quite reliable. No need to reinvent the wheel.

the oil feed thread in the block is m14x1.5
if your serious then i spose you would need to make some flanges to suit and either thread or weld the appropriate -an fittings onto/into them.
You can make a gasket out of gasket material if you like..just trace around the flange you need to remove anyway to do the job. Or use stock gaskets. Or use high temp RTV.
