[s-cars] Hydraulic fitting - still searching - HELP!

[Ben Swann]

I am still trying to find suitable fittings that will let me fab up lines for the
hydraulic pressure accumulator (bomb) to Power steering rack on  '83 Ur Quattro.
Temporarily put the fitting back in a clamped tight, but blew out first time when
steering went lock to lock.  I now have with extreme clamp tightness and loosened up on
PS belt, but this is not gonna work as a permanent fix.  I don't want to deal with any
more OEM hoses - they seem to all end up leaking.

What is needed are fittings that have barbed end for positive permanent hold in
hydraulic hose or can be swaged in by fabricator.  My local fabricator won't source the
fittings but will fab the hose if I find them..

The threads on the original fitting are 16mm diameter and fitting is a ball
compression/flare fitting.  The fittings for the hose are female, but would be good to
source both.  So what is this fitting called - 16mm metric compression fitting? JIC?
??

I checked and it is the same type as the ones used on EFI fuel rails - the fitting is
the same odd size I was looking for when I needed a line for the Coupe Quattro  fuel
Return line.

Please advise me on this nomenclature if you know - I seen different versions of metric
fittings.

A source would be even better, but I figure if I know what they are specified as I can
get from Parker or other manufacturer.  Alternatively I could use an adaptor - like
metric to AN, but still need to fabricate the hose assembly so less fitting connections
is better.
