I had a steel braided line with red and black tracers that fit perfectly which I got perhaps 5 years ago from British Car Specialists, if memory serves. The fittings are an inverse flare. I got one replacement from British Car Specialists and had problems with it threading on and seating, and also one from Moss, which came from a different vendor, but with the same style. The fittings on the replacement hoses were similar to a flare, but instead of tapering to the orifice, they were squared off. And while I could force the treads on both the fuel rail and the fitting from my glass bowl filter, they would not seat properly. I returned the Moss unit, but unfortunately I fouled the threads on the one from BCS rendering it junk. I finally had a local hose and hydraulics company make me a hose using the fittings from the prior hose. Problem solved, albeit a bit expensively considering the cost of manufacture plus the wasted hose.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Bruce Steele<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Brea, CA<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>1960 BN7<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext'> Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Bob Spidell<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, July 11, 2017 9:21 PM<br><b>To:</b> healeys@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Healeys] carb hose BJ8<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p>I just realized my message didn't add much value.
