Dang banjo bolts

Well this has turned into a real interesting experience . Installed a FASS DDRP and the banjo connection on the inlet side leaks like crazy . Have tried 3 sets of washers and it still leaks like crazy . OK , I`ll just do away with it and get a barbed hose connection for it and be done with it , only I cannot find that barbed hose connector that will thread into the inlet . Have tried 5 auto stores , home depot and Grainger and can`t get the right thread . Does ANYONE have any thoughts as to where I could find it or any other suggestion ? I am really starting to get flustered and NEED some advice .

You're better off getting rid of all the banjo fittings anyways. Very restrictive part of the fuel system.

Try a hydraulic shop...I've found lots of odd and metric sized fittings there. Seems odd that they would make such a difficult thread size.

I went back with the banjo bolts because I could not find the right hose barb , but I will keep trying to find what will work .
