Default Steering rack fittings

I have my 2012 steering rack and want to put in the conversion fittings to 6AN for all the new lines. I don't have the old lines to get the size. Does anyone know what the size of the two fittings are on the rack?
I think it might be one or both of these?
14mm x 1.5 O-ring
16mm x 1.5 O-ring

The reason I don't have the original hoses is due to this is a 59 Chevy Apache with a 2012 corvette drive train.

Thanks for any help,

Turn 1 Powering steering can tell you for sure. That is where I bought my fittings when I bought their pump. https://www.turnone-steering.com/col...ering-fittings

I just bought a set from Jegs. Off the top of my head, I can't remember what sizes they were. The ones you listed sound right, though.

I spoke with Jeff at Turnone. Cool guy and very helpful. He is even looking at my pump to determine GPH since I have a new GM accessory drive that didn't come on a corvette for my LSA engine.

The people at Turn 1 are really nice. I love their pump.
