Seastar Helm - HF6009, HF6012, HF5526

I'm fitting a Seastar helm to my Pac 22.

The helm pump has a female Orb connection and in the box I've got two Orb to 3/8" tube adapters (HF6009).

Unhelpfully there are no olives or tube nuts. These are a separate part - HF5526. This would allow me to come away from the helm with two 3/8" diameter 'tails' which I can connect to the steering hose. The tube nuts have a 9/16" - 24 UNEF thread so not something I can click and collect from Screwfix

Alternatively I could get an Orb to 1/4" NPT female adapter - HF6012 and then a 1/4" NPT to 3/8" compression fitting which ASAP Supplies do.

Hypromarine in Lymington are currently closed and this would have been my first port of call.

Does anyone have either two tube nuts (HF5526) or two adapters (HF6012) that they would be willing to sell me or does anyone know of someone who deals in Seastar bits that may be open?
