Default Spectra tank fittings

I just purchased two new spectra tanks for my 1975 xj12C. I acquired the car recently as a project, the previous tanks were completely rusted out. I am looking for the fittings for the tanks. Any idea where I can source them?
thanks

Hi,
which fittings? could you not salvage any from the old tanks if only to match them to new ones?

I need all three fittings for both tanks. I bought the car as a project, they weren’t there

You could try SNG Barratt, they do list a lot, although much is to special order only.

When I bought spectra tanks a couple years back they didn't have the correct threadings for the fittings.

The only thing that i could find in a pinch that fit the spectra tanks were hose compression fittings.
