Does anyone know where I can get these?

Earls has 12x 1.5 (weber) 12x1.25 (mikuni) 9/16x24 and 5/8x20 AN fittings/banjo's. Don't know what the SU threads are off hand.

In case you can't find a commercial Earls banjo carb adapters with the right thread and length, you can make your own.

The round fuel tube fitting that the stock SU banjo bolt fits through now, can be replaced with a flat chunk of aluminum stock of the same thickness. Make it (high/Wide) enough beyond the part where the bolt passes thru, so that you can tap an 1/8NPT hole into the end of it. Then get a common 1/8 NPT to -6 adapter fitting and screw that in. Presto.

Just take a bit of flat bar cutting and grinding, nothing you can't do in the comfort of your living room.

Google suggested there were SU banjo bolts out there, but none with the -6/-8 blocks to go with. Didn't look too far though.

Never mind, here is the motherlode... http://www.anplumbing.com/Adapters/Banjos-26.html

Maybe a Earls 977606 (bottom of the page) would be a direct fit using the SU banjo bolt and seal washers! wouldn't that be cool!

Thanks! I'll take some measurements, do some more research and post what I find. My friend has it on his race car but he doesn't know what he bought or where he bought it. All he knows is that it's Aeroquip.

Took one out tonight. 12x1.25 thread just like Mikuni! I'll bet that the earls mikuni bango works out of the box. 807691

I have a set here, I'll put one on a SU tomorrow and take a picture.

Thanks! I was busy with other things last night and didn't get to look. I found the fitting on Summit Racing. :-)
