Hard line kit?

Is there a kit available to run hard fuel line from my (mech)fuel pump to carb like the one in this pic?

Or can someone point me in the direction on building my own?

I'd think you could use brake line from any autoparts store and bend it how you need, cut with a tube cutter, and flare your own ends as needed. Brake line comes in many diameters and as long as 4ft (that I've seen) which would be plenty long enough.

I thought about brake lines but what size would I need for fuel?

Yes, it's not brake line but fuel line. Get some bending tools while you're picking up the line, it's not as easy to bend as brake line is. Check to see that the fittings are compatible with what you have or bring the fitting in with you as well.
