Default Need fitting adapter help.

I need to get from a male 5/16-24 to a male -3 AN.

What's the easiest way to do that?

I've been searching through Summit and my eyes hurt now and I didn't get very far.

Any help?

5/16-24 is the UN bolt thread used in a hydrobooster return port. What gives? -4 return not good enough?

V-Twin...no one said anything about a Hydrobooster. This is for a small oil line.

AN fittings being aircraft are most accessible through aircraft sites or the military.

You might try Pure Choice Motorsports - http://purechoicemotorsports.com
(888) 505-8355

They have a lot of different fittings and may have what you need. It can be kinda hard to find stuff on their website and you have to order by phone and you have to catch a technician in the office but they were very helpful, provided quick delivery and I would use them again.
