SAE flare to Metric o ring adapter?
As the title states I'm looking, I was wondering if there was such a adapter for power steering my 75 c10's steering box. I would rather not have a custom hose made just because if it ever has to be replaced I can go to almost any parts store. I've been looking for about a week and cant find what I'm looking for thanks!
EDIT: Either a adapter on the pump or on the box as I have both hoses

If you still have the old power steering pump, you can unscrew the fitting on the back and swap it on the LS PS pump. Use the original hose inverted flare hose. Cost $0.
I've also cut the end off the metric hose put the inverted flare on it and double flared the hose myself.
Lee makes an insert to allow you to mix fittings.
Or you can get metric/inverted flair to JIC adapters Speedway motors) and make your own hose.

EDIT: normally I wouldn't use Teflon tape or paste on this kind-of fitting would you guys recommend it since it technically is the wrong fitting?
