Unfortunately the above rusted out and am having a difficult time finding one as it's no longer available anywhere, unless someone can suggest otherwise. Part # is: 9161125. Or has anyone made one?
Would like to keep my Saffron on the road because it only has 329,000 K or 204,000 miles in her.

Splice in some NiCopp and your life will be easy - its really nice stuff to work, the cost of line plus flaring tool is 1/10 the cost of the previously purchasable fuel line.

Abscate has done this before. What I suggest is if you can find someone with a tool that can make bubble flares, then using some bonding glue between the rubber hose and the metal tubes will prevent the rubber hoses pulling off when clamped behind the flare. Obviously perhaps, just make sure your rubber hose is E10 compliant.
