Default Fuel line adaptors

Im wondering if anyone has 2 of the following fuel line adaptors? It is part # CTL 3485B

Im short 2 of them for my fuel line install. I tried part # C31UCW 104142 but they are a smaller fitting on one end and will not fit the thread size on the fuel pump or Mk1 fuel change over switch.

Ive got 2 of the C31UCW 104142 to do an outright trade if needed.

It's probably 1/4 BSP on both ends. Very common. take your sample into your local engineering supplier

Sadly it isn't. The fuel lines are 1/4 BSP fittings, but the other side that goes into the fuel selector or the fuel pump are something else. I do know modern brake lines pieces you can buy at a hardward/automotive store fit fine. I tried a fittings place and they could match one or the other but not both on the same piece.

The other end is most likely 1/4 NPT then. If so, it will be slightly smaller in dia. If you check a ford manual for the fitting that goes into the petrol pump, it might verify that. I imagine there would be some demand, and somebody must make them.

LYNN.
Not having the fitting in my hot little hand I would think it would be a NPT x compression..SAE..
If so it is here..

http://shop.hoseandfittings.com/cata...dard/HF68.html

IF it is some kind of BRIT fitting it would be here..

http://shop.hoseandfittings.com/cata...BSPT_x_MP.html

Either way Jordon should be looking for a replacement in a proper hose or fitting supplier.

Take the one he has and match it up here,,...

http://www.hoseandfittings.com/

It is in Fort Wayne Indiana..but he could get the same thing at any decent hose shop..
He'll get a bunch..lots of hose shops in Hamilton.
