Not ideal, but you could just run a bspt die down an npt fitting. Its the same thread but with a 5 degree pitch difference.

"JIC fittings are dimensionally identical to AN (Army-Navy) fittings, but are produced to less exacting tolerances and are generally less costly. 45-degree flare fittings are similar in appearance, but are not interchangeable."

That looks like a good find, 1UpMoto. This line apparently serves the same purpose as the FP oil feed line, only sans the inline filter. It should be strictly plug and play, huh on any 16G? So, it ought work on my second hand, El Cheapo Red.
