The block thing-y with a hole in the middle is a banjo fitting ( short neck MIO 3/8 banjo to -3 hose) and the other fitting is a 3/8 - 24 female to -3 male. I'm running hoses I assembled myself, cost me $60.00 for both. I have parts numbers from XRP for the parts if you can get them cheaper through work. If not their is a place by my house that I got the parts from. You could come over to the house again and I can help you assemble and put them on. I have not had any troubles with them so far.
