Replacing fuel lines, Not as easy as I tought Options

[mikea100]

While replacing my fuel lines I noticed that they're metal from shifter lever going forward and plastic going back.
Here're my steps.
First, I removed the fuel tank and noticed that fittings on the outside firewall are metal (Picture 1). Then I removed front tunnell access plate and the lines were metal (Picure 2). I thought that it was nice of PO to have them replaced. But when I removed rear tunnell access plate the lines were plastic. I wanted to trace the entire line and removed shifter lever and saw a some kind of connector that hooks up metal line to plastic (Picure 3). Is this stock setup? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
I purchased a comlete set from Tangerine and those lines will replace everything firewall to firewall. However, I noticed that fittings (Picture 4) are much smaller than the ones that are there now (Compare Pic 1 to Pic 4). Should I be concerned sbout that?

Too bad you removed the shifter. Re-adjusting will probably be more time consuming than replacing the lines.

Spray a little wd-40 on the metal lines up front and push them through the rubber grommet into the tunnel. Go to the back of the car and yank them out. You will find that the metal tubing is only about 2 feet long. The other ends are barbed and the plastic line is just shoved onto them - there are no clamps or connectors. Not sure what we are looking at in picture 3, but I think it might be the evap line from the charcoal cannister on the right, and maybe the speedo cable on the left. I don't think those are your fuel lines.

for installation, watch this excellent video that Rotary'14 made...
