My opinion would be to do as you are, but use only solid metal lines after
the 40psi pump. The rubber fittings can probably take that, provided you
use worm-clamps instead of those quick springy-ones... but I wouldn't risk
it.
Don't forget that you will have to put the high pressure pump on the
engine, or else use a high-pressure flexy hose (a la clutch) to get gas
between the shaking engine and non-shaking body!
I think compression fittings would be tough enough. I have one on the
3/16 oil pressure line in my TR4, it takes 70psi no sweat.
