updating fuel lines

I discovered a few leaks with my fuel lines, been about 5 yrs since I'd done the regulated return and fuel bowl delete. Going to stainless braided hoses etc. I have 1 more fitting to get ordered but I can't remember what size the threads are for the old return line fitting? I wanna say 3/8 thread. am I correct?

Shattered, if you don't mind posting up a pic of your setup and what for you used... Did you use the fuel bowl fittings attached to the feed/return lines to then feed the for? So, inturn, your still using the parker sleeves

the only fitting I used on my whole regulated return was the original return line. everything else including fuel bowl was deleted.
as soon as I get everything delivered from summit, I'll take pics of what I used, total cost and pics as I go.

Lol. No. I got parts from summit. I know it’s been a minute. Been working 70+ a week. I do need to find my parts list and get some pics up. I’ll try to get it posted tomorrow.

Found this, where the fuel lab 525 series and aeromotive 11301 regulators were used...guy reused the fittings from fuelbowl then put barbs on other end to feed/return fuel...think, theres better ways so to not use so many connections/fittings

Problem I've had looking at putting together a RR (my RRD version still holds 82 psi after several tries and complete rebuild of all components) is selecting a fuel pressure regulator that is DIESEL rated and proper pressure and fuel flow. Which (low cost) one would you pick?
