Where are you guys getting your AN hoses from and how long do I need for the each hose.
There's a local place they makes custom hoses for industrial and high pressure apps. Not sure if they have AN hoses though.

Probably going to mount it where "indept" did. Seems like a good spot.

AN fittings and AN braided hose, all fittings and hose I used was Vibrant Performance from Summit. I ordered a 10ft piece and trimmed it to length with an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel.

Thank you.

Ok, I plan on using the Derale 15725 kit

Just so I'm clear on everything.
I need 10ANhose

I'm going to need 4 of these fittings

and Four of these?

Or should I get TWO 45* angled one for the adaptor that goes to the stock location?

Thanks

The Derale oil filter adapter comes straight down out of the block, so you might need two 90° fittings? I used two 45° fittings but my adapter had the output pointed towards the front of the truck.

Also the straight fittings will need to be -10 AN to male pipe thread (not sure what thread Derale uses), then use some thread sealant paste on the pipe thread side.

The Summit reviews of that Derale kit aren't all great, are you set on that kit? Especially if you're replacing the hose and fittings you might be better off grabbing an adapter and mount separate.

Oh, yes I went to Derale site and it say 1/2" NPT so good catch.

I think you are right. Defiantly going to need 90* fittings and another good tip on the thread sealant.
Thanks a bunch buddy

No, I'm not... I just looked at some old post and my buddy's wild one and crazy kit suggested the Transdapt 1127.. I forgot about that one.

Which one do you have?

I used Improved Racing parts, not the cheapest option but I wanted to do it once and not worry. I think most of the installed kits here start with the Transdapt one and replace the same parts you're replacing.
