Anyone found another -6 fitting for explorer PS pump

The pressure port on my explorer PS pump leaks. I used a 16mm o-ring fitting, which the research says should work, but I read in DanWheeler's thread that it's a non-standard type fitting that someone can get from Lee's transmission... who are no longer in business. Has anyone found a -6AN fitting that works in the explorer pump that doesn't leak?

Wild horses sells one. Intook the pic of ot into my local hydraulic hose repair shop and they had one on the shelf. Works for me with no leaks and great pressure

Good deal, thanks fellas. I'll pull and modify mine to see if that works. If not I'll be calling you, Paul.

The one ingot from the local hydro place was flat bottomed and hollow up inside. It fit fluch to the elevated ring in the pump and had a washer/oring that went between the head and the pump body. Works great

I hacked off enough of the end of the fitting to just be able to get the o-ring on and as of right now it's no longer leaking. Quick fixes are usually not my specialty, but I'll take it! Thanks again!
