-10 on my Saff iirc.
If you use a goodridge adaptor remember to drill the bore bigger as it steps down quite a lot.

I'm running -8 (1/2" bore) from tank to 044 pump, then -6 (3/8" bore) from pump to rail.

that was going to be my first choice mate but using -8 teflon hose reduces the hose size down by 4mm does this matter?-8 would be the easy option as i would have no problem getting the hose and fittings.or i could just go with the original push on hose and just use -6 fittings for the return.

Ive Earls adaptors going into my pumps. They are incredibly small too, I drilled them out as much as possible.
