The banjo threads into a welded boss, which with care could be retapped to a 
little larger SAE or AN thread. Be careful not to enlarge the boss so far you 
break the inner welded line free of the weld. This seems like a reasonable 
idea as the stock banjo fitting is restrictive, except that the primary 
restriction then becomes the welded line inside the tank which is smaller than 3/8". 
Personally, its not that hard to simply reproduce the late fuel-out line in an 
early gauge sender with a 3/8" section. This leaves the banjo and its line for 
a carb return line, or even for an EFI return and moves the primary 
restriction to the fuel pump fittings and ports. Good luck- J Deryke
