7. connect the -6an end of the reducer to the braided line
8. install the EF civic fuel filter
9. install the -6an to 12mmX1.25 adaptor into the fuel inlet side on the filter using a new crush washer
10. install the -6an female to male 90deg bend on the adaptor
11. install the other end of the braided line on the 90deg bend adaptor
12. install a fuel feed line from the filter to the rail
13. snug everything down, but do NOT over-tighten as the alum fittings will strip
14. prime the fuel pump 3 times to bring the system to full pressure
15. check for leaks
If you are unsure what thread pitch your filter is, take the bolt out and have it gauged. Then buy the appropriate adapter. (My guess is it is the same as a EF)

the only issue with doing this, is those fittings from earls are rated for low pressure, I know a lot of people have used them, but they arent supposed to be used at FI pressures, it says right on the info about the fitting, I used them because I'm carbed and only running 2 psi

50psi max working. Should be fine for most applications but yes, it's something that should be considered.

they must have changed the spec, mine showed 30 psi working, maby it was a misprint, I know they use flares like that on high pressure water lines etc, just be aware of the limitations

get a roll of double wall steel tube and the dual flare tool and bend your own lines, then they are just like OEM

It's been so long that I don't even remember what fittings or lines we were talking about. Refresh my memory please?
