Drain flange is the same, inlet is a metric thread though. I got mine from Hahne, but a 14b might be the same.

I didn't.

Standard T3 drain, I think the feed is JIC/AN but I have no idea what adapter I'm running anymore. Bring it to a hydraulic shop and they can hook you up.

yeah its something like that. what i did was went to the hardware store and bought a brass 3/8'X1/8" reducer and taped it the the m12/1.5 then used the 1/8to -3an adaptor in the T3 kit.

I used a class 8.8 12x1.5 hex-head bolt... chucked it up in the lathe, drilled a hole down the center, drilled a bigger hole in the head, tapped to 1/8NPT, put an o-ring under the head of the bolt, and tightened it down. Doesn't leak.
