Default Mustang II power rack fitting question

I need to get hoses made for my TCI clip in the Nova but am not sure what kind of fittings are on the power rack. Look like they may be O-ring seal types but not sure. Can anyone help?

I have an AGR rack which I believe is the same one. The sizes are crazy. The non-metric racks have a 5/8" thread on the return, and 14mm on the pressure side. Both are o-ring sealed. Art Morrison Engineering has a small kit that converts these fittings to -6AN, but shop around...

If you call TCI they can confirm those sizes for you.

On the AGR rack that I have, the two holes were 9/16-18 and 5/8-18. The 9/16 is close to 14 mm, but a regular -06 o-ring to AN flare fitting did the job for me. I used a steel fitting, since it was the pressure side. One can never be too sure.

The 5/8-18 side is much trickier to find the fitting for. I ended up calling AGR, and it turns out they have a 5/8-18 o-ring to -06 AN flare fitting custom made in AL. I just bought a pushfit hose fitting and used rubber hose to connect it to the return on the PS reservoir. That darn fitting cost me $20 dollars, but the problem was solved.
