Clutch hose fitting to master cylinder

I am installing a new 74 series Tilton master cylinder. I need to connect the existing hose from the slave cylinder to this master. The hose end is a -4 AN female coupling. What adapter do I need from the Tilton master to this hose? I know that I need a -4 AN male end on one side. These fitting should not be too dificult to secure; who has them?

The Tilton shipped with a fitting that fits the pressure or bleed port on the master and has a -3 AN male end but that is too small for the -4 AN hose I have.

I just looked at my Tilton setup, I think it's 1/8" male pipe to -4 male AN. The actual threaded hole in the cylinder is about 1/4"-3/8". If you use an aluminum fitting, carefully put some teflon tape on the male threads before you screw it into the M/C.

Here's a shot of my Tilton setup. Were you looking for something like this?

It looks like you are using a banjo bolt connection from the master to the clutch hose line. I am looking to use a straight fitting that is a male -4 AN on one side of the fitting. The other side would screw into the master in the pressure or bleed port (like where your banjo boly connection is). I really need to know the thread specs for the pressure port on a 74 series Tilton.

Thanks
