John,
The attached site should answer your question. It appears that dash6 is 3/8-18 NPT and a number of differant animals for flare, o-ring and many more in the 3/8 range.

Re: threads
In aircraft fittings and fasteners the suffix -6 means six sixteenths of an inch. As said, there are a bunch of various 'pipe' fittings other than our usual NPT tapered standard here in the U.S.
Brake lines and hydraulics and fuel and I don't know what else. Bet you that you could clean it up with a 3/8 pipe tap or die and it would work. Our pressures are so low compared to hydraulic stuff that the forces are surprisingly low. Let's see, 3/8" diameter is .11 square inches so at say 300 psi there is only 33 lbs trying to push a fitting out.

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.
