Admins, please sticky this thread and edit/update with information and appropriate AN or NPT adapter part numbers as needed. I'll be taking pictures of each connection as I find them, to aid in identifying each thread pitch

Have you found yourself looking at your beloved FC with a leak in one of the many threaded connections? Or worse yet, stripped the threads on something costly like the A/C condenser lines? We've all been there and found that by searching, this information is oddly scarce from the Second Generation Section. Out of necessity on my 20B conversion, this is why I'm starting a thread specifically about fluid connection fitting thread pitches.

This is by no means a complete list as of yet and will require updating as new information becomes available regarding each fitting pair. And please, use flare wrenches. $10 at Harbor Freight is cheap to have the right tools.
