What hose do you all use/recommend for using to supply an external oil cooler and filter ?

Do you plan on using barbed fittings or -AN? I normally use -8AN fittings and SS braided hose.

AN with SS lines is the onlt way to go.
mock up lines with rubber hose, to get your length, and how you plan to route them.
I am lucky enough to have a local place that will make them on the spot.
plan well, do it right. do it only once. saves money in the end

I agree about the hose but the AN connectors ? -- Look at the photo, that is my first T-4 914, the two hoses come from the 914 stock oil cooler location and goes to a Type IV oil cooler in a Doghouse T-1 fanhousing.

The engine was built in 1989 23 years ago, original hose on barbed brass fitting from a hardware store and I used the standard worm screw hose clamps, never a leak.

So ok the AN will be better and cooler looking and for sure it won't leak.

The brass fittings are very restrictive with the inside needing a lot of port work to flow correctly. That is a big advantage of going to something like an AN fitting that is radiused and does not restrict flow. I would look at something lik XRP fittings and hoses. There are a lot of choices in hose as well and a lot of weight savings to be had with still being reliable compared to braided covered hose. If you are going to go with braided hose I would look into the ones with teflon coated on the inside-the fittings used for these are a bit different but the hose flows and lasts longer.
