Oil cooler fitting sizes

[E30Gus]

OK I've been searching but with no luck finding any info on the fitting/thread sizes for the stock oil cooler and lines.

Anyone know what they are?
I need to buy the fittings and lines so I can put the cooler in before track day.

Thanks

22 x 1.5 ?

I'd just get a set of used lines from a salvage yard and if necessary, have them rebuilt.

^What do you mean "rebuilt" the stock lines? - They don't "rebuild" those? How could they?

I think you mean "I don't know - grab some lines and have them copy them"

I have a complete oil cooler with very good condition lines. However I have an early Eta car with an I swap and a late oil cooler design. The cooler and line combo don't fit on my car which is why I want to make "soft" lines to the stock cooler.
I just need to know the size of the threads from the oil dist/thermostat block and the cooler itself.

You can have those, or power steering lines, rebuilt. The shiop will cut off the crimp sleeves, replace the hoses, and crimp on new sleeves. When I installed the oil cooler on my current race car, which needs AN fittings, I had a shop rebuilt a set of lines with longer hoses and AN fittings on the cooler ends. That let me use the OE fittings on the ends that connect to the OE oil filter adapter and AN fittings at the cooler.
