The supply and return are both standard flare nuts.  They are different
sizes (sorry I don't remember the sizes) and are readily available.
However, they are steel not brass.  Standard plumbing fittings are brass and
I don't know how well they would work.  I have to assume that there was a
reason that Datsun used steel.  Also, the fittings on the tank are steel as
well.  After 30 years of rust they can be all but impossible to get apart.
One of mine snapped when the tank was removed. 8^(((
