Fuel line supplier

Since the motor rebuild on my 89 GTA I have been having slight moistness around the fittings on the rubber fuel lines on the driver side of my engine compartment. These are the lines that connect the hard lines from the intake manifold to the hard lines coming from the fuel tank. I was wondering if anyone has replaced these lines and if so where they got the lines. In addittion has anyone replaced these lines with braided lines or know where to get braided lines. Thanks

Thanks for the link, any idea where I could get pre made lines from? I've also seen this question posted before but what is the best way you have found to keep excess fuel from running out of the lines when working on them. Even with the fuel pump fuse removed and the ignition off i get fuel running out when the schrader valve has already been purged. I was thinking about jacking the car up and hoping for the gravity effect thanks again.

I got mine from the dealer, but I think someone said they arent available that way anymore. Might give it a shot anyway.

Thanks I will probably try the dealer since I get a pretty nice discount and don't pay any tax. Otherwise looks like I am gonna be making some braided lines.
