Does anyone know where I can find the hose that goes from the gas filler neck to the overflow tank. It has an ID of 5mm and an OD of 7mm. I need the original hose with the braided covering as I am making the car all original.

be aware!
That braided fuel line has to be replaced constantly. It is not compatible with ethanol fuel. And the braid makes it very hard to visually inspect the fuel line for cracks and degradation.

I know some places sell it and claim its ethanol safe. But there are no stampings on the fuel line that I have ever seen - which means that you are trusting a vendor on whether your car will burn to a fuel fire.

I personally refuse to use it. And if you do use it, you will need to replace it every couple of years.
