Hi.. Im looking to fabricate up some ethanol resistant fuel lines for my F355, and wondering if anyone is able to assist me with sourcing these connectors. One way is to 'canabalize' the OEM parts for their fittings, but i realy dont want to go down that route. Besides its hard to get out the blue fittings without damaging them There are two connectors in the system Blue Aluminium Anodised 'o ring' Fuel distribution Block Fittings: (staright and right angled) and the gold 130 degree and 90 degree M14 x 1.5 ?!? 6AN?? fittings. Can anyone please tell me the correct name for both these fittings, and whether there is any supplier that makes them? Also apart from the 550 maranello and 348 was their any other italian vehicle that used these connectors? thanks Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Not the easiest of tasks in sourcing these OEM fittings..so im thinking of switching to 6AN fuel fittings.. Does anyone know if the M14 x 1.5 Male fitting on the end of the fuel rail, and the M14 x 1.5 Male/Female connector on the end of the fuel pressure regulator are removeable.? Or is the only way to convert these to AN fittings is to put another adapter on top of them? Image Unavailable, Please Login
I think they are known as JIC inverted flare. Cut them off and braze or tig weld a -6 fitting on. Then you could use braided teflon hose. Edit: I'd be tempted to get rid of the factory dual regs and that distribution block. For the fuel supply just use a T fitting, and for the return use a single dual inlet pressure regulator. That would ensure even pressure between banks and give you adjustability.
I found this.. M14 Inverted Flare to 6AN Male Fittings (radiumauto.com) It would certainly screw onto the 355 rail but will it seal? webpage states Note: Not all M14 x 1.5mm inverted flare to -6AN male adapters are universal. Read below! Can anyone hazard a guess if this would work? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
In this case how would you handle the vacuum line connection? T the 2 sides together into the single regulator?
