Default C5 Master Cylinder Tube Nuts

One last piece of the puzzle for my brake install is tube nuts for the C5 master cylinder.

It appears that the front port is M12 x 1.0, and the rear is M12 x 1.5. The issue I'm having is that I can't find anyone who can supply the M12 x 1.5 tube nut for use on a 3/16 line.

I've seen people mention they were able to find M12 x 1.5 fittings for 3/16 tube, however I have yet to come across a thread which provides part numbers or where they were sourced from.
Does anyone have any guesses to where I could source them?

Baring any breakthroughs there:
I have the stock fittings. The rear port originally used a 6mm tube. The difference between 6mm (.236) and 3/16 (.187) is a hare under .005
While that seems like a relatively small difference, I don't want to do anything to jeopardize my safety on a critical system such as brakes. Could the original nut be reused for the 3/16 lines? Another option I'm considering is using 6mm line from the rear port into my proportioning valve.
