That's it. Someone has one on Ebay but I don't know if it is the same female thread on the banjo. I know the Europa is 3/8-24

I'll check tomorrow at the shop but I'm pretty sure the MGB uses 3/8 x 24 tpi.

Yup, 3/8 x 24 tpi.  Make sure you use new copper washers.

Thanks. I found a new MG one for $17 shipped. I still like the Lotus design more though, it's $20 + shipping. If a cheap used one doesn't come up, I'll wait until I have to order more parts.
For what it's worth. Top one is MG, bottom Lotus.

The MG version is probably a copy/reproduction made the way it was to save money. I think the Lotus one is probably older. If you end up getting the MG part, just remember that after you assemble it, you hope not to see it again for a long time!
