Need help finding a 12mm banjo fitting

Hey guys,
I need help locating a fitting like what is shown below in order to get my FB up and running again. The original factory banjo fitting is corroded and will not hold a seal. Fuel is leaking everywhere.

I'm looking for a 12mm ID banjo fitting with a 3/8" or so barbed end. I'm thinking somewhere like Regional Hose may have this, but I wanted to confirm before heading out on a hunt.

I'm in the Waterloo area.

Thanks.

Hydraulic fitting places are your best bet.

Yeah, I'm going to give Regional Hose a call tomorrow first thing. Otherwise I'll ask one of the Pipefitters at work if they know where I can source one.

I figured out after the fact that I should have just installed an FD fuel filter.

That filter has the inlet/outlet more or less in the same place, except it has a barbed hose fittings and not a stupid banjo fittings. The FB is the only RX-7 that uses banjo fittings.

The fittings were special order. So I ended up installing an NB Miata fuel filter. Works like a charm and fits perfectly.
