Any recommendations for a source. Trying to find a straight internal female flare fuel line fitting for 5/16" steel hard line. (1/2-20 tube nut size) to 3/8 NPT. To plumb in a Holley type fuel pressure regulator. For a 57 J2 Olds factory Tripower that has too much fuel pressure. Only thing I can find so far, is a fitting for 1/4 NPT. Don't want to have to use a bushing reducer if at all possible. Getting too bulky for the space to fit the regulator. Have looked at all the normal sources of catalogs from Dorman, Edelman/Plews, Gardner/Wescott etc. and no luck so far. Sources like Auto parts, Summit, Jegs, Speedway, Grainger, McMaster-Carr etc, no luck. Not sure that fitting even exists? You guys have any ideas? Bill
@justpassinthru Aerospace/ Aviation parts manufacturers, Some European . Parker Aeroquip Pluming in Industrial Beverages many of these companies have several specific different catalogs , also Earls or Russel has a special fitting catalog that's not common seen , & Vibrant has some unique fittings also Catalog Not there web site .
Bring in the pieces to your nearest Parker Store (there should be a bunch scattered through out the Chicago Land area). They will be able to put together what you need.
A "face bushing" doesn't really add any length to the fitting, give it a try notice that they have them at Ace Hardware...
www.polyhose.com. I ordered some odd ball brake line fittings that nobody had through them last year. They have all kinds of automotive type fittings
All so having sets of NPT tap / die you can sneak up on deeper depths to make Fitting shorter , more Flush
I've had good luck with "one-stop shopping solutions" at your average hydraulic parts and service storefront in Anytown USA.
