I'm trying to find some fittings for wing tanks on my L320.  I'm burning
directly out of my wing tanks using 3/8 tubing.  I have threaded inserts in
the BL50 ribs where the standard brass fuel finger strainer screws into the
tank.  I need a fitting that will screw into the finger strainer in the
outboard wing panel, pentrate the BL50 rib, and make a 90 degree turn to
parallel the BL50 rib.

I'm looking for a recommendation for a fitting.  Note that a standard 90
degree elbow is not long enough to clear the BL50 rib.  An AN916 elbow with
AN911 pipe thread is too long, it will hit the Landing Gear Leg.  I need
something inbetween.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
