Tap the i.d. to 3/8 npt and lose the leaky stock nipples.
My only issue with that is the sock doesn't get used then and have figure out some sort of screen ahead of the fuel pump.
@mb911 Ben,
I prefer the internal taping to 1/4 NPT and using a threaded fitting inside the nipple. The internal sock never made sense to me. Why trap the crud inside the tank. A simple visible external filter is better.
You will not get a common tap to work as ne of the nipples is too close to the seam.
I made one from a front 911 spindle nut. Others have found a Nissan spindle nuts has the same threads.
You can also grind down a thread file to file the threads. It is only the sock nipple that has the clearance problem.
I can send you a spindle nut if you want to clean up the threads. You need to grind down the ears. If you stay with the nipples and paper gaskets make sure you hone flat the sealing surface. It is only 1mm wide and must be perfectly flat to seal.
