I'd like to get some input on this too, mine are VERY rusty! Do you just use compression fittings for doing this?

Someone on this site has a picture of braided lines to go from the hard lines off the frame to the fuel rails. I asked him before if they were anything special (like metric fittings). He just said they were plain ol' braided lines and fittings.

Just make sure when you buy them that you tell them they have to be high pressure hoses for FI.

I would take off the ones you have and take them to a shop.

Just my .02 Hope it helps.

I took the rubber line and cut the ends off and welded them to a couple of -06 to 3/8" NPT adapters (steel, not aluminum), so all I have to do is screw my adapters to the fitting on the metal line (making sure the little O-ring is still there) and screw the AN fitting (and braided line) onto the adapter.

I'll try to remember to take some pics this weekend.

If you're interested email me- J812MANY@aol.com


Hope this helps,

John
