Looking for a -12an turbo drain flange...

After several google searches and what not, I haven't been able to locate a -12an turbo oil drain flange for a garrett t4 turbo so I can run a straight -12an line from turbo to my FD motor. I found out that the previous owner of this car went to home depot plumbing isle and jerry rigged several brass and iron pipes together, not only does this look hideous and ghetto, It also kinked the drain hose(non braided ftl). I would like to keep things simple, I don't want a cluster f*** of fittings. Is there a one piece flange with a 12an(3/4") barb fitting or maybe a oil drain flange that is -12an male???

Thanks a bunch,

you'll have better luck with a -10an which is what most run for oil return.

I was under the impression that my oil return nipple to the motor was a -12. If it's a -10, it will make this whole thing easier.

i'm like 98% sure the -10 will suffice. a -10 is about the same as a 5/8th hose. -12 is 3/4 and -8 is 1/2 . Some folks run a 1/2 hose as an oil return sooo... -10 would be fine. It isn't pressurized so any good sized diameter would be ok for a drain.

Feel free to jump in if there's a contrary argument.
