[Fot] Question on Accusump Install with External Oil Lines On a Spitfire

I'm in the process of installing a 3 quart Canton Accusump on my 1.3L 
Spit engine. I'm planning to run 6 an to the engine compartment and 
split off  to the main gallery plugs on the side of the engine block.
The early 1.3L has three plugs and the later has  4. I'm having trouble 
locating a fitting that will fit into the gallery openings. They appear 
to be 5/16 fine thread.
I've reviewed the write up on page 131-2  in Kas's Triumph Preparation 
Handbook that shows Steve Smith's installation.  What is not listed is 
the hardware that was used.
It looks like a flow bolt and banjo fitting could be used but I cannot 
find any in that size.
Is anyone familiar with this setup and if so where did you source the 
fittings that would screw into the gallery plug holes?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
