dont want to pull my oil tank apart at the moment so does anyone know what treads are in the tank for the feed and return? These are not NPT treads are they?

It's a long time since I had mine in my hands Purp, but maybe Al knows as he sells the alloy tanks, which I believe retained the original threads / fittings?

thanks, you are correct. I bought some fittings and they worked fine. was just going to post this last night for anyone else in the future.

ended up getting the following-

3/8" Tube OD x 9/16"-18 O-ring thread.

The JIC have the same 37 degree cones as the nice shiny AN stuff. You can use-6 for the oil lines.
1/8 npt to -6 adapters for the oil pump.
