M16 - Saginaw I'm quite sure but I believe I can confirm easily. Return towards reservoir correct?

I thought I had a rack here to actually confirm but I can't put my hands on it. What did you use for the pressure side of the rack? If you used M18 there it's M16 on return

6mm I hope was a typo and it's actually 16mm and Saginaw with the sealing ring.
