Dave,
I learned "all I know" about hoses at the local hose & hydraulics shop.
They'll sell you the AN fittings and the hoses plus recommend what to use
for oil / coolant etc. Also they will make up a hose for you while you
wait - e.g. 18 inch 1/4 ID braided Teflon with crimped AN -4 on one end and
right angle -3 on the other, etc. etc. If you tell them you're going to be a
regular customer they'll educate you happily - at least mine did. Got to
know those guys really well - gave them a lot of money too :(
