Default quick question on stock steering rack

Would anyone happen to know what fittings I need here for ss braided line (using powerflex):



I believe they are 16mm x 1.5 but I'm not sure. Will this fitting work for BOTH threaded holes in the pic?: AER-FBM2608

It's a stock LS1 fbody steering rack.

Thanks for any help/advice

Ok, I think 16mm is the top port and 18mm is the bottom port. here is the new plan, I just want to check with the forum to make sure I'm ordering the right **** (if anyone can look this over and tell me if this looks right that would be awesome like a blossom):

There are adaptors out there that convert the factory GM fitting to -6 AN on both the rack and the pump side.

Most dirt track shops will have them. It's a common retrofit for Modifieds as the motors are moved around for weight reasons.

Cool, thanks Mitch. yeah I think AER-FBM2608 and AER-FBM2609 are those adapters. I just want to make sure I was putting them in the right place.

I was just going to order them from Summit but checking around town is a good idea.
