Can anyone offer some suggestions???  Help?

     Yes.  Depending on the size and flow rate, from bad to
very bad.  Besides there are two gaskets to leak.  I have
rarely seen an application that seemed to make sense for
this particular fitting type.  I personally put banjos on the
'don't ever use list'.

We have a problem here Bill. The block is taped for metric threads.
Do you know of any adapter fittings that will screw into a metric thread?
What size is this thread guys? All my end housings are at the hangar.
