AU Installing second oil cooler

Hi,i need some help installing the driver's side (in Australia) 2nd oil cooler.I'm trying to do this at the moment.
For those that have done it, did you have to remove the battery and airbox to bolt up the lines that connect the two coolers? I'm having trouble from underneath finding where the brackets go? I bought all the stuff second hand so i don't have any instructions.
I'm also a little confused as to which hoses connect up where,i.e from new lines to which cooler lines etc?
I also need the little clips that hold the quick release joints in place,Mazda only sell as the whole joint at a ridiculous price! Does any one have any spare or know where i can get some? See attached picture.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have fitted the extra cooler - not as an oil cooler but as an extra water radiator .
It worked a treat .

Can't help with pipework (cuz i ended up not useing it ) but I do know someone who will have that clip (I gave him all my pipes and he never used them . Let me know if you get stuck and you can have it for the cost of freight from NZ .
