I used the copper washers that came with the car lines, and I think I even ordered new ones.

Hi Kelly,

I purchased Racing Beat p/n's 11901 and 11902.  They didn't come with
any seals and I haven't found any in their catalog.  I got them about a
year and a half ago and think I asked them at the time what seals I
needed.  The answer I got is "you just have to tighten them up".  I
didn't quite believe it.  The stat-o-seals look like the way to go.  The
3/4" look good for the 18 MM fittings but I'm concerned they might be
too big for the 16 MM fittings.

Bob,
  Like Rusty said the stat-o-seal is the way to go.......All the
  metric
to AN adapters I have bought came with the stat-o-seal installed.

Since this fitting is a straight thread, not a pipe thread, how is
it  sealed. Is thread compound all that's needed, do I need a copper
 washer, or something else? 

Thanks,

Actually, my question was "what is the metric thread on the front 
cover oil outlet". I found it in one of my old posts. It's M16 x 
1.5, and I already have the appropriate adapter on order. 

Thanks, 
Rusty
