Default Possible to aeroquip std plastic header tank??

Is it possible to aeroquip the standard plastic header tank in a cossie? i have a 4x4 and would like to keep the std look of the tank and use the same hose and black quip fittings that i have used in the rest of the car.

I have seen some end that look like the screw nut aeroquip but are actually covers for screw fastening hose clips.

Is this what you are looking for?

Could you use a baulkhead fitting and just put rubber washers/sealant on both sides?

Doesn't sound hard at all, why can't you just use an end finisher clamp?
