Rusty, I have eliminated all my banjo fittings. You can get the adapters from Summit Racing.

Hi Buly,
 
Getting a metric to AN adapter is relatively easy, but it won't fit.  The engine mount portion of the CCI mount plate gets in the way of the oil return fitting, so you can only use something very low profile, like a banjo fitting.   Another thought would be to build the oil return into the oil filter adapter block, like I believe is done on the FD.  My current fitting has surprised me by not leaking, but I don't want to push my luck.  
 
Cheers,
Rusty
  
I have the same engine mounting plate from Custom Conversion Products....the banjo fitting was really close to the motor mount bolt. The new fitting I installed, I believe gave me more clearance, if I recall correctly.   I will take a photo tomorrow.  Paul Conner
