I take it you are unaware of the stainless steel reinforced CPE hose inside the braided jacket?

I don't like steel braided exterior hoses because of their propensity to saw through everything they contact. The cloth is friendlier to other components. OEMs typically use rubber sheathed exteriors on their high pressure lines, just like hydraulic machinery manufacturers. Automobile applications are always very low pressure, though.

The steel braid is armoring. I'd use it in places where impact with rocks/debris is expected (like a wheel well or long runs along the bottom of the chassis), but I think you are better off running your critical lines in more protected areas if you can.

There’s no stainless braid in these lines. I was impressed that they were able to withstand the cooler being pulled under the wheel without rupture, tear or separation from the hose ends. I will use the same material for the next configuration.
As always, I will continue to avoid contact with trackside infrastructure.

On the other hand, the fuzziness doesn't really mean a whole lot, since it has easy-to-fuzz Nomex mixed in. It did survive being run over by a car.

Oil Cooler Stud Thread Sizes?
I have an application for this oil warmer/cooler that is not in a miata, but rather a small diesel engine. The oil filter "Stud" on that engine is 20x1.5mm and it seems most of these coolers adapt to a 3/4-16 thread. The oil filter threads themselves don't matter much to me because I can get a different filter.
Does anyone know what the thread size is on these that goes in to the block and what the thread size is on the coupler that screws in to the oil cooler/warmer housing? This particular cooler/warmer is one of the few that would fit in the allotted space I have.
I did do a search of this thread and didn't find anything relating to the thread size unless it was written out strangely.
Ultimately, i am looking to adapt to a block that has a 20x1.5mm female thread.
Thanks in advance for any information!

There are options for M20 P1.5 which should do what you want. You also need to select the size lines you want to use (mine are 10AN) and select the filter block accordingly. The cooler itself will require matching fittings.

I'm looking for a cooler similar to what is on the miata. A sandwich type of cooler, that I can run coolant through. Not a oil block that redirects the oil to an air cooler or other. I need something small and contained such as the cooler that comes on the miata 1.8L. I just don't know what the stud threads on are these and that go in to the block. I have not been able to find any mention of this or documentation on it either.

For clarity, I drove over the cooler. The lines prevented the cooler from passing fully under the wheel, the wheel then skidded on the cooler which was ‘tethered’ to the car by the lines, having had the metal brackets securing it ripped off by the initial impact. That’s how the soil/clay you can see became imbedded in the cooler. I’m very impressed that the lines istood up to that (and that the cooler did not rupture).
In any case, the point of my original post was to share an experience about the vulnerability of the bumper corner. Had my cooler been in the engine bay behind the radiator, race tape would have been enough for me to finish the day.

The gadget you refer to is an oil warmer not a cooler.

It will essentially cool the oil a little bit as well. If the oil is 250F and the coolant is 160F on the return from the radiator then it will definitely cool it once it is warmed up. Just the same as it warms it during the startup/warmup period.
It is on a little 20HP diesel motor. A little cooling will go a long ways, especially when there was not engine oil cooler from the factory.
