914 fuel line options?, what to replace the original lines with Options

[VintageExcellence]

What are you guys doing on fuel lines. I am restoring a early 914-6 with the 2 different size plastic fuel lines through the chassis. I pulled the original lines out, one broke from being brittle and the reason I wanted to change them. What options are out there?

I see stainless steel line replacements. Looks like Tangerine has a set for sale. Anything else out there?

If the plastic lines are good I wouldn't worry about it.

If damaged, you welded in new floors (welding heat), or you are running high pressure for a front FI pump, then I'd use the SS lines.
With a stock location pump these lines are low pressure, only the pump to regulator FI loop is high pressure.
The truck brake pipe is OK but it should have a rolled barb, especially for high pressure.

FI clamps should be the only type used and SAE 30R9 rated FI fuel hose.

I used to say SAE 30R7 hose was OK for all the low pressure sections and carbs, but after some research on hose quality I will now only use SAE 30R9 rated FI fuel hose on all the fuel lines.
