I dont know what you mean by there's no brass fitting nut.If you have the pipe that sticks out of the intake,(its a threaded pipe with a nut on each side)i have the nut that slides on the actual air tube and compression ring that attaches to the threaded pipe on the intake.
I can send it to you if you need it.

If you dont have any of the fitting at all sorry i couldnt be more helpful.

I just used liquid steel a type of JB weld to seal up the hole in my intake.

I know Amit looked everywhere for one.Unfortunatly I already sent him mine.

The only thing I can suggest is to google for brass compression fittings or brass ferrules.Then start calling people to see if the can help.The only other thing since Slp doesnt want to help,or help Amit for sure is to delete it all together.

Maybe you can get a shop that sells the intake (like speed inc) to get you the nut and ferrule.Im sure Slp would help a shop.
