Fuel Lines

Ok I am hooking up the Hot 305 I am building. I am having a problem with the hard fuel lines. The lines are too short to fit just right. Can I splice in rubber fuel lines to get more play???

Thanks

Rubber lines are OK with carbs, but not for fuel injection (unless directly specified as such). Why not get some fittings, hard line, and a flare tool and bend up your own? I've done it with brake lines, and it's not very hard. Looks cleaner too. If you are going to race your car I think the NHRA has a rule against more than 12" of rubber line in the engine compartment.
