Hood mounted fuel pressure gauge

Hi guys, a couple of quick questions.

I'm running this gauge:

To one of these:
Fragola Performance Systems 231804-BL - Fragola Performance Systems Series 2000 Pro-Flow Hose Ends - Overview - SummitRacing.com

The back of the gauge doesn't quite look like an AN fitting, it's much closer to just flat than the 37 degree AN. I assume that means its an NPT. Will a simple adapter be enough to ensure this doesn't leak, or will I have to do something more drastic?

It's on the car, but not drilled into the hood yet, here's how I have it right now:

And thanks to TR Custom Parts! I ordered the bracket on Friday night, and got it on Monday!

Can you take pics of the threaded portion? Ive got the autometer phantom gauge on mine and it was an AN fitting.

From Auto Meter's site. Looks to be a -4. Check out the top of the last page.

Can do, I get home from work about 5:30, so I'll post up soon after that.

I notice in the instructions it says not to use nylon hose for fuel on these gauges. Is that an overall warning that can mostly be ignored? You may have noticed I'm using the black nylon hose to run from fitting to fitting.

The hose I'm using (Pro-Lite 350)

Back of the gauge

While looking around, I found this little guy hiding in a drawer, I'd say it's a match, how about you all?

AN=no teflon + you don't want tape, go with liquid on autos if possible
