Default Need AN fittings help

I need to order fittings but space is limited. What I need is a 12x1.25 banjo fitting:



And a 90* 3/8 pipe fitting



I was going to connect them with -6 hose. Now the problem is space. Here's what I'm working with:






I'm worried about the length of the fittings. As you can see I have about 3 inches of space. If I use very little hose can I still make the connections? The problem is I don't know how bulky these connectors are.

Thanks douchebags.

Hey whitey, can you just weld one fitting on to either the rail or the other piece to make things easier? You definately dont have enough space for two connectors pointing toward one another. What are you working on anyways?

If you have room you can loop the line, like in a half moon shape, better flow cheaper, and easier to work with. If you don't have the room. Tube nuts and sleeves are your friend.

The way its setup now is its looped. The room just isn't available and it would be better if it could just be one straight shot to the rail.

Any way to put fuel filter before fuel pump, and bypass the that nasty knot between filter and rail?

I figure the answer is no, but am gambling on the off chance you're stuck on that configuration since you bouht the parts for it.

Youd be looking at a little over 4 inches just from the fittings, so that wont work. Just face them both outward and run the half moon shaped line that way. Either that or make a JB weld tunnel

By the way, what filter is that

I will measure a few fittings at work in the AM and let you know. I don't have the exact fittings but I do have some -6 stuff to look at and measure.

PS tight spots suck when working with AN
