Bob,

Just make up a new section of fuel line from the tank to the pump 
with new original fittings. Or, you should be able to take the 
fitting off of your existing line and put on the right fitting I 
would think (without seeing it). I just made a new line using 
stainless steel and original fittings which are soldered in place. 
The only difficult part is the 90 degree elbow which you can't get 
anymore. However there is a work around which you can get. British 
Car Specialists has all the parts.

I had a machine shop drill out the old steel pipe from an original 
elbow and used that.
