Default Braided fuel line question

Does anyone know the adapter needed to run braided fuel lines from the fuel filter along the frame rail and return line to an -AN style fitting for a braided hose? I was going to do this once and had the adapters but lost them. I can't remember what is needed. Here is where the braided lines would connect:

Do you want to retain the factory filter? If so you need a male 16mm X 1.5mm oring to -6AN male such as Russell 648060.

If you plan to eliminate the factory filter and use an aftermarket you should use a female 16mm X 1.5mm oring to -6AN male such as Earls 9894DBJERL.

If your retun line is the same size as the pressure line (and I think it is) use the Russell 648060 there also.

I'm going to retain the factory filter. So the Russell fitting with O-Ring fits into the filter and the fitting where the return line connects?

Yes, if both of your lines are 3/8's inch. Or Accel makes a kit p/n 74721 that contains two of those fittings but it is quit a bit more expensive.
