Yes, I'm aware of that. If you re read my first post, I actually referred to it. This is the same price and easier than drilling 2 small holes and tapping small threads.

I really couldn't find anything reasonably priced and was going to make one like in the how to thread.

Then, I found this today:
Auto Meter 3277 - Auto Meter Restrictor Fittings - Overview - SummitRacing.com

I'll probably have to drill the hole out just a bit, but its much easier than tapping a fitting with a set screw and drilling it out. This will thread right into a nissport adapter for the oil feed and I happen to have -4 line so it works out. Plus it's under $10

Just thought I'd share this find in case anyone else finds themself in the same situation as myself.

Another cheap option is just using solder in the stock banjo fitting. You can drill it out or drip solder in around some galvanized wire if you need the hole to be really small (like for a VE pump with an OE banjo). Just make sure the banjo is super clean and maybe sandpapered out so the solder sticks good.
