banjo bolt size for KGParts secondary rail.

I've searched and searched and cant find the answer. The only thing I've found is the rails are tapped for 3/8 NPT. What would be the right size for it. Pitch seems to be 1.411 so looks to me like the closest I could get would be M12x1.5

Anyone confirm or am I just making that up.

If its 3/8 NPT you will have to retap if you want to use a straight threaded banjo bolt

What's wrong with a 3/8 NPT -6 fitting?

Ah ok.

I'm ideally wanting to keep the primary rail standard. From what I'm see you need to delete the OMP to get the clearance if you then make it a -6 fitting?
