And I assume the little nut in the centre is a protective cap to reduce shite getting into the jet area. Burner is unused.

Sod it! its an SAE fitting. 15.8mm is 5/8"
SAE 45° Flare (SAE J512) The SAE 45° Flare connections are commonly used for low pressure applications such as refrigerant lines, fuel lines, and automotive piping systems. Both the SAE male and female halves have a 45° flare seat. The threads of the two halves engage to form a strong mechanical connection. The seal is formed on the 45° flare seat. Except for the seat angles, the SAE 45° Flare connectors are identical to JIC 37° Flare connectors.
Inch size Dash size Thread Size Male Thread O.D. (in) Female thread O.D (in)
3⁄8 -6 5⁄8 - 18 5⁄8 0.63 9⁄16 0.57
the JIC fitting I have is no good I'm afraid - the threads are different. 3⁄8 -6 9⁄16 - 18 9⁄16 0.56 17⁄32 0.51
Your best bet is to take it to a local hydraulics firm and ask for a hose fitting, you just push your rubber hose onto it and clamp it up. I'll post a picture of the JIC fitting I have to give you an idea

Close but no cigar i'm afraid! You can get the hose fittings in straight tails as well, depends on what would suit your application best. On a hydraulic hose a ferrule is crimped over the end to make it off. In your case you would only need a hose clip.

You can send me some of those crimp ferrules if you like I tested the furuno plotter by pushing flush-cut wires over the pins and it is all working perfectly so the ferrules would be handy to do a more permanent bodge with some PU18 sealant. I will pm you my address Ta.

You could try a 3/8 bsp socket onto that fitting, with a 3/8 bsp male hose connector on the other end.

Thanks for that suggestion. Do you mean something like this with a hosetail screwed into one end? Seeing as a cheap flaring kit is only about £10 I might just get that then I can do more if I need to. Its only copper so I think a cheap kit will be OK for this. I also wondered about cutting a 45 degree cone into a female hosetail with a countersink bit but that's probably a bit silly.

That's the idea, but you may need a longer one to accommodate the flared end and the male thread of the hosetail.
