I need a bolt I don't think exists.

I'm thinking I could cut the line and install this


And then run a short steel line to the vapor separator. Might work.
 
Well member 65CopCar here says he has found? dies for 5/8-20, so you purchase any over length 5/8" bolt of any thread, trim it to needed length, removing any existing thread, and cut new 5/8-20 threads, and you are back to having a possible solution.

I don't know much about this but wouldn't it have to be a fatter bolt so he can cut new threads?
 
Ok. Lets talk. How about I make it out of brass? Give me a drawing. I can cnc thread mill or lathe cut the treads but I really need a female thread to test the male threads against. I can make a banjo bolt or make an adapter. Whatever would work better.
 
You sir are 100% correct, but then I have not looked. I actually have a 5/8"-18 NA reduced 12 pt head sitting on my desk as I type, and the -20 was overlooked on my part and that was a mistake.

Good catch.
We think a lot alike because that was absolutely my first go to!
 
This, but 2” longer in the middle. Then a 2” long tube/spacer with a 5/8 ID (maybe a mm wider to be safe) that it slides into.

If I was machining the part in question, I would want the original too short fastener in hand for reference, and am I seeing a larger then 5/8"d shoulder under the head?
And the Op still needs a proper length spacer to complete the proposed solution, correct?
 
It goes into the eyelet of this black line and then finally into this carb. I circled the area red but that nipple comes out to receive the -20 threads. Goal is to achieve the pic of the fully assembled one but 2 inches away from the carb and closer to the valve cover.

The bolt you posted looks like it would do the trick.

Correct. There's a shoulder but it might just be the 5/8 as the section with the flow hole is recessed. And then the spacer, correct. That will be much easier to find though. At least I am assuming so.

But yeah having the bolt would be useful. Easier to measure the flow holes and everything else.

Like I tell my CNC buddy all the time, thread milling is cheating..

For those who haven't seen thread milling...

 
or make an adapter.
Maybe even smarter and much easier. 2.25" tube with a -20 inlet at least 1/2" deep, and -20 male end about 1/4" long as shows on the bolt i posted. I would have to measure the diameter of the flow hole and the eyelet for total diameter. But now I am going to pass out. I'm dead tired.
 
Are these any help they are a banjo to -6 for hydroboost thread measures 5/8 " may be metric pitch
