Oil Filter flex lines

Figure 30 on page 119 of TM 9-8012 Shows the Cuno oil filter installed on the M38. However, it does not list the fitting types to attach the flexible lines to the filter and to the engine. What do I need to get from the hardware store to install my lines? I have the correct lines, but no fittings.

Thanks Wes. You can always be counted on. I have the TM 9-1804B, the ORD 9 SNL G-740, and the ORD 9 SNL G-758 references, and Ryan Miller's book. Do you have any recommendations for other reference material that might be of use on the M38.

The MB ORD 9, the civilian SM-1002 and if you can get your hands on a copy oneof the pre 1950 Willys CJ Shop manuals and the Kaiser engine manual.
