I must be misunderstanding you then.  That was exactly my point, both sides
of the pump housing are designed for (and will work with) 5/16" line.  The
1/4" line will rattle around in the hole before you install the nut (the nut
has a 1/4" bore so it locates the line radially).  But the 1/4" compression
sleeve (which was also a special, larger than common sleeves today) will not
pass into the 5/16" inside bore, so the special nut would compress it.

At the time I went through this, neither the special nut nor the special
sleeve were available new so I made an extra-long nut that would reach far
enough in to compress a standard sleeve.  Others used other solutions, for
example Scott Suhring wrote about grafting two sleeves together

I've read that TRF now offers the proper compression sleeve, but haven't
ordered one for myself yet.
