I'm at a loss. I have what appears to be 7/16 45deg flare nuts, 1 male and 1 female. Everywhere I've checked I get a shaking head as in 'nope, don't know...' so I'm here. I'm in Motown. I should have several sources for this odd stuff but I don't. I have flaring tools, a bender, and can also get 7/16 tubing. Useless without fittings and the previous shops didn't think to save the originals. This is a 37 V-12 cpe and the tank is new with the same OEM fitting as the old rusted one. Any clues would help, and please don't ask for registry of this car...it's not mine and I refuse to say who's it is (privacy, ya know?). Thanks in advance for any help.

Of course!

Nobody? Wow. This is a really 'rare' fitting huh?

Is this what you're looking for?

Yes, THANK YOU!! I did a search, called dozens of places...

That's it. now I have a product and part#.

I fully understand the privacy aspect.
I have been the Roster-Keeper of the 1937 Super Eight and Twelve for some 42 years.
I have data on 10 of the probable 39 that were made.
I also have names of 8 other possible owners (or previous owners).
I would be most appreciative if you would ask the owner to contact me, Bob Supina at <1937lebaron@gmail.com>

For 43 years I have shared the database ONLY with one of the Senior members of PAC and CCCA who tracks existing Packards.

Respectfully,

Bob Supina
