Bob,
Metric to AN adapters are available from Raceing Beat or Mazdatrix to
fit AN-10 hose......Local hydraulic hose shops or suppliers carry metric
to JIC-37 degree (angle of flair) fittings also......JIC-37 is commercial
equivalent of AN........The problem I have had is finding a 16mm to -10
hose adapter.......They may have to be special ordered.........I do not
know if the racing shops have theirs special made or buy them off the
shelf........The 18mm to -10 adapter (used at rear hsd of 86-91 13B) is
easy to find at local shops as is 16mm and 18mm to -8 hose...FWIW
