Default AN fitting for FPR

Does anyone know which size male AN / Aeroquip fittings I need to convert my MSD Webcon Fuel regulator. Im ordering all the bits to replace all my fuel pipe and fittings to braided -6 with aeroquip fittings.



This is the FPR

Best speaking to MSD but at a guess your looking at either 1/8 NPT or BSP

Remove one of the outlets and see if it has a tapered thread or not

Im assuming they are 1/8 NPT. I was gonna keep the costs down and order some Hardline piping through the underside of the car, but I read that the AN compression fittings to convert the hardline to AN fittings only hold 50psi. Im assuming thats gonna be a close call.

Think I will bite the bullet and fit the AN6 teflon stuff.

The only problem I can see with the teflon is fitting it to the return on the tank. Was thinking of having to AN fittings soldered to the tank. Probably a step too far, but I suppose I might as well do the whole lot

ill be keeping my standard steel lines and brazing -6 fittings to the ends,that way you need very little braided fuel hose and you can use the original clips to hold it to the floor.

Ive found some nice cnc billet -6 twin hose clamps. So ill weld studs to the bottom of the car where the standard hard pipe clips are then bolt the clamps to the car to hold the braided line to the bottom of it as i really wont to go braided to and from the tank
