I've used a 1/8th NPT fitting there. I don't know whether that will be
big enough for what you want to do - whether 3 or 4 1/8th NPT fittings
will actually flow the amount of oil you want. But you could drill them
out and tap them for either 1/8th or 1/4NPT and buy the adapters from
Pegasus to fit your AN fittings. I actually have a 3/8NPT fitting in
the center main gallery plug where my Accusump is plumbed into my
engine.
Check Pegasus - your male NPT pipe to male AN adaptor part numbers would
be 3250-02-06 (1/8NPT to 6AN adapter) or 3250-04-06 (1/4NPT to 6AN
adapter). (Page 83 of the current catalog) Or just call the tech line
at Pegasus (or similar) and they'll tell you what you need.

Subject: [Fot] Question on Accusump Install with External Oil Lines On a
Spitfire
I'm in the process of installing a 3 quart Canton Accusump on my 1.3L
Spit engine. I'm planning to run 6 an to the engine compartment and
split off to the main gallery plugs on the side of the engine block.
The early 1.3L has three plugs and the later has 4. I'm having trouble
locating a fitting that will fit into the gallery openings. They appear
to be 5/16 fine thread.
I've reviewed the write up on page 131-2 in Kas's Triumph Preparation
Handbook that shows Steve Smith's installation. What is not listed is
the hardware that was used.
It looks like a flow bolt and banjo fitting could be used but I cannot
find any in that size.
Is anyone familiar with this setup and if so where did you source the
fittings that would screw into the gallery plug holes?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
