AN fittings

Ok,

I am stumped, and need to call on the powers here. I want to change over the output and input hoses on the metal coolant expansion tank to AN style fittings.

The problem, the metal is too thin to cut and tap, or hold threads in the case of the push on tube fittings already there. So...

Is there someplace out in the world, a Push on female to AN or NPT Male adapter . My google fu has failed me and I can not find one. I don't mind if I have to put a NPT->AN adapter in there to make it all work out.

Why not weld on a steel AN fitting? They make weld on male fittings so it should be simple enough to do!

You know Mike, I forgot about that, and looking at it on their site, there looks to be enough metal to cut the welded in push ons and tap it for AN/NPT
