Purchase the 22MM x 1.5 to 8AN adapter fitting from Pegasus.
Chuck the fitting in a lathe and remove the AN end from the fitting, machine the fitting smooth & flat.
Now drill the Pegasus adapter fitting and tap it for the threads of a readily available SAE spec banjo fitting of the proper size.
For a 1/2 hours worth of work you'll end up with the exact fiting you are looking for.
If you don't have a lathe, you probably know somebody who does. If not, mail it to me, I'll machine the fitting for you. Other than the adapter fitting, you'll need to purchase the banjo fitting & through bolt you want to use, plus the proper tap for the through bolt threads.

How did you know I have a lathe? Are you spying on me?
I already kinda' went that route this AM with the plug.
The problem is that you can't thread the sucker because you can't hold it in the vise. Ordinarily who'd care? Just run it through the die to clean up the threads right? Well the die for that 22x1.5 is $87 at Grainer and needs to come from the central warehouse.
Bottom line isany which way you go, for an adaptor to npt, they got ya'.
I'll have the parker by Wednesday of next week.
That's life, that what all the people say. Flyin' high in April, shot down in May...
