Jay :

Yes, there _were_ 5/16" sized ferrules to fit 1/4" tubing, they were
original on our cars.  Unfortunately, I don't know of a source for them
(and neither do Moss and TRF).

One solution may be to take two new 1/4" ferrules (available at any
hardware store), cut off about 1/3 of each one, and solder (or
super-glue) the two halves together.  Another that might work is to
carefully file the first thread off of the 1/4 x 5/16 fitting, so that
it can go deeper into the pump fitting.

If someone else has a better solution, I'd love to hear it !

Randall
