Walbro 392 kit fittings

I bought the Walbro 392 kit from Wide Open Diesel a while ago, and finally got around to install it since its finally starting to warm up around here. The install went smooth, I think the hardest part was cutting the hose on the inlet to the tank for the return adapter. But anyway after installing it I found I have a small leak on the front adapter for the hose that runs to the stock fuel filter housing. At first I thought maybe the hose wasn't seating properly so I took a hose clamp to it, did no help, then I looked closer and saw that it was leaking in the middle of the adapter, I don't have a picture of it but if you've installed this kit before you know what it looks like.

My question is does anyone know where I can get one of these adapters or know the size of it so I can try to look around nearby. I don't think it will hurt anything by driving the truck, as I have no choice since its my only vehicle, other than my wallet for all the fuel going on the ground. I'll see if I can crawl under the truck and take a picture of it soon, still pretty sore from crawling under the truck for 5 hours last night

thats the kit I bought, says they discontinued the kit but if you click on intall instructions and look at picture # 5, the top right fitting is the one leaking between the nut part and the yelling ring.

I had one do that too! Fought it for what seemed to be forever! I finally cut the hose off and put in a new one.........done! Bought the fitting at NAPA. Wasn't cheap, but I was more concerned about getting it fixed.
