Can you help me build a 1G Turbo Oil Feed Line?

I've got a leak on the oil feed line from the banjo fitting at the cylinder head. I hate aluminum parts, and it seems that I've stripped out the threads. From what I understand the factory oil feed line is junk anyway, and I want to block the outlet at the head and install an oil feed line that runs directly from the oil filter housing like the one in the following links:

Problem is, I'd rather make the line myself than buy one from someone else. From the looks of things, there doesn't seem to be anything special in this set-up. Why can't I get any of these parts from some brake shop or other sort of hydraulic shop? Thing is, I don't exactly know what I need. Especially in the fitting that screws into the oil filter housing.

So, by the looks of things, I need three things: a banjo fitting on one end, a braided oil line with compression fittings on either end, and some sort of elbow fitting on the other end. Problem is, there are several types of elbows. Which type do I need? One side of it needs to have compression fittings to screw into the line. How about the other end of the elbow, the one that threads into the oil filter housing? Looks like the same type of end as on, say, universal air fittings or something like that. Just an open end, right? How about the line itself? How much pressure does it need to withstand? And how big should the line be? Same size as the factory line that runs from the head? Any other information that you can think of?

Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jon

P.S. If you think that building my own is a bad idea and you think I should just break down and buy one, don't be afraid to say that, either.
