Default steel braided oil return line- how long do i need it

i am building my oil return line. i am getting the fittings and need to know how long i need to get the steel braided line. this is cheaper for me instead of a kit because my dads company can get them cheap through aeroquip, the company he works for just bought them. i have a 96 gsr with the drag kit, t3/t4 turbonetics turbo and a moroso oil pan. any ideas? thank you!

hmm i want to say liek anywhere from 12 inch to 16 inch. It always good to have it a bit longer, then just cut it.

My kits are supplied with a 14" drain hose, but I don't know if anyone has ever used the full length. I would say get about 12" and cut it if neccessary.

AN fittings are made to be tight, so they are a little tricky to put back on, but it's more than possible.
