Fuel lines

Hello all,

I finally found some time to tinker with my Alpine, and today's project was to
finally replace the jerry-rigged fuel lines to the Strombergs with the correct
"T" fitting. I always marvel at British enginnerering on a project like this. A
simple procedure of taking the carbs off the motor turns into a series of hand
contortions to remove the obscured nuts. Understandably, these carbs were made
to fit on a number of other cars, but so were webers! Oh don't get me wrong, I'm
not complaining. I guess I'm doing what's expected of a british car owner, just
as a Porsche Owner talks about how everything is so expensive. Thankfully we
have a place to share/sob about our wonderful cars! The good news, however, NO
SKINNED NUCKLES!

Now the question:

I need the fuel line from the fuel pump to the carburator Tee. The one that was
on the car was plastic, with a metal pipe on one end that inserted into the fuel
pump. I didn't see this in any of the catalogs. Who's got 'em?

Thanks,

Tom
