Fuel line connectors- AN/JIC to IFF Questions

[revenski]

In following up my possible fuel line and/or fuel pump issues, I've been trying to simplify my current fuel line connections. I have a solid 1/4" - 45 degree flared line coming from the gas tank which has a 7/16-24 male connector. That needs to connect to the flex line going to the fuel pump which has a female JIC 1/2-20 connector with a 37 degree flare. Right now both the JIC and the IFF fittings are adapted to NPT and then connected with an NPT connector. I've been searching with no luck to this point to find a simplified connection. Do any of you know a better way to connect this 7/16" IFF male to the 1/2-20 JIC female? Or is there someone you might know of who builds customized fuel lines?
I'm attaching a photo of what I currently have. I don't consider it particularly good looking.
