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.

I have a pre-strainer before the pump and if the filter ever does get clogged I'd rather not burn up the pump.

Its an Accel filter. And I think I'm going to go with this type of combo:

If you could get a length on that it would be good.

Re: Need AN fittings help
5/16" aperature is going to have, at my best guess, 9/16" drive female to account for wall thickness/threads of the male part and then the needed thickness of the female portion. That makes the female-female adapter easily 2" long.
Lemme google and see if I can get some exact Earl's Fittings dimensions for you, and you can get medieval with the old tape measure.
Glad to see the project coming along, btw.

Re: Need AN fittings help
Alright, I'm not finding documentation on Earl's Fittings like I hoped to.
Let me hijack you for a minute... go to http://www.mcmaster.com/ and type "fittings" in the search box on the left. No need to even click anything, it dynamically searches. Look down under the search box for 37 degree fittings - these are AN. You can pull up exact technical schematics/dimensions for them. See if you can't sort out what you need from McMaster, although the finish probably won't be as bling as Earl's stuffs.
BTW, -6 is 3/8" ID, that's a pretty hefty fuel feed. You really thinking of making 600 on the old Banshee? You might save room scaling down a size, it's not going to hurt anything to run -4 on that contraption.
I'm back off to find Earl's infos now. Toodles.

Re: Need AN fittings help
Thanks for the help. The entire feed is done in 3/8. Yeah its overkill but it might be good when I ditch this ----- gas ---- and run alchohol.
Yeah and its nice to be getting somewhere with it, Especially when she's singing

Re: Need AN fittings help
hehe.
I'm announcing failure on the exact specs. Earl's homepage is http://www.earls.co.uk/earls/index.html but exact specs are not listed. I'd call them, or better yet Summit, and talk to a real live person. I dunno exactly how either place is setup, but their phone call center might be set up adjacent to the warehouse and you might be able to talk to someone who can measure this ---- for you.
I'm still a big fan of ganking two OEM Honduh banjos and brazing stainless hardline into them - if you look closely I think that is how the OEM banjo head is fit on from the factory. Counterdrill the orifices in the banjo heads to the tube slips right in and it should braze neatly. It'll be shitty getting such a short piece of hard tube bent, and you'll have to get a banjo bolt to go in the fuel filter, but it seems far and away the petitest way to make everything fit together.

I would do that but the brazing doess scare me with the vibration of the bike. I really want the thing to be reliable (thats why its taking me forever) and with the abuse I put it through I'm willing to spend the money for the piece of mind.
I'm going to call Summit tomorrow and see what they can do.
Thanks.

Re: Need AN fittings help
I didn't have anything that usefull. But I took a few pictures of what I had around. All I ever use -6 for is power steering coolers. TFE fittings are smaller and handle more pressure. I will order some in the AM and take more pictures if you would like.

Thanks for the help. I ordered fittings today, I'm using 2 90*'s and a coupling. They should be here Friday. Apparently they are 2.950" center to center so that would be perfect. I guess we'll see Friday if they work
