Default Replace quick connect oil line to engine fitting

Hey all,

I switched out the horseshoe for a round oil tank on my '00 FLSTF. I have to replace (or modify) the vent, feed, and return lines since the new tank has its bungs on the bottom. I'm thinking of using AN fittings combined with nylon braided and hard pipes. To do this, I have a couple questions I'm hoping someone can help with.
  1. I'd like to replace the fittings to the engine (part numbers 45468-00 (vent) and 63601-00 (feed and return)) with something threaded instead of using the quick-connect.
  2. I'm trying to determine the proper hose size for various line functions. I know the feed and return are larger than the vent, but what is the appropriate size?
Thanks, and have a great rest of the weekend!
