where do i go for fuel lines?

hey all

as im sitting inside my fc, im typing this (wireless rocks).

BUT heres my problem, my send and return lines for the fuel are rusted through, and i need new hard lines, do i have to go to a dealer to get these? or does someone make replacement hardlines? cause without these i cant pump any fuel

If all else fails, you can use the same hi-pressure injection hose that's on the rest of the car, you just to find something to shield it from road debris impacts...Gotta be better than 1/2 rusted metal line, though

i really wouldnt wanna use all rubber hose but yes it is better than rusted lines. how about stainless steel lines? like put some fittings on the send and return lines and so on.

so anyone know where i can get the send return hard lines?

OH also where can i get a new fuel pump mounting plate? mine is all rusted

You could just go buy "bulk" hardline and bend it to your car/copy your old ones with a tubing bender. Summit and Jegs carry the line, it's not that expensive, a hell of a lot cheaper than hose, stainless or not....

Are you talking the send and return lines in the engine bay or the ones under the car? I'm assuming since it's rusted through these are the ones under the car, right?
