    Help finding replacement part

    I'm having no luck finding a replacement for this part anywhere. Before I start begging anyone to help fabricate this I wanted to check here.

    Replacement ideas?

    If I remember correctly it's on the return from the wur.

    Thanks everyone.

    if you can't find that exact piece, worst case pick up a couple of AN to metric adapters (Like $3 off ebay) and replace that whole line with a metal braided line. Like $20-$25 in parts. A couple feet of -4 AN fuel, a couple hose ends, and some adapters. I've made up a ton of it, besides solving your problem, it also looks bad ass.

    alternatively, you could find a hose and pipe company locally to fab up what you need. that's how I replaced some brake lines for the rears on my 323 that needed replacing. they fabbed both hard lines and flexible lines for me and it was very affordable...plus I got to meet some pretty cool eccentric older gentlemen who really knew their stuff

    Getting my banjo fitting conversion line from John at www.deloreanautoparts.com tonight, I'll let you know how that goes. $36 postage paid. Includes an M8 Banjo bolt and barbed fitting for the fuel distributor side, and an M10 Banjo bolt and fitting (just like the original, but new) for the WUR side. Installed by John on the 3mmx5mm OE polyimide fuel line. He sent mine on Saturday and it's here tonight by 8 p.m.

    I will let everyone know how it works (my only fear is that the bolt will be too long).

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. I fear that we are all going to be searching for NLA parts more and more.

    I had posted earlier, but I think that the forum must have eaten it. I ended up finding these:

    So far, so good.

    Dang, could've used the info 2 weeks ago, but I'm glad it all worked out.
