Fuel line fitting to gas tank, Fuel line fitting to gas tank no longer available Options

[growler]

Hello I am a newbie of sorts back at trying to put my 914 back together. I am working on the fuel system and have a new gas line from Tangerine installed in tunnel. I have twin carbs so I don’t need a return line. I am going to purchase a new tank but I see that the nuts and supply tubes are no longer available. I don’t have these parts? I am not a big fan of the tank connections anyway and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on alternatives with a new tank?

yes we are in the process of making both fittings and rerunning the two nuts. the fittings will be in stainless and the nuts as they were originally in aluminum. I had asked Chris Foley if he wanted to make them as a compliment to his stainless tunnel line set but said he was way too busy and gave us the go ahead. There are actually three different short pipes, the difference being the delivery line smaller on the 75 76 models

Hi,Thank you for the update. Sounds like the upgrade to SS should be a game changer in solving problems with this fitting. Hopefully getting new tank next week.
