[Mgs] Fuel pump replacement--connection questions

[Keith G.]

I'm replacing a junky plastic fuel pump (that cracked and started leaking profusely) on my '79 
B with a factory-style pump.  I'm looking for ideas on how to get the new pump hooked up.

The problem is that the previous pump was connected with rubber hoses clamped over 
protruding nubs on the pump.  The new pump has those threaded holes for inset connectors.  
I can't find my Haynes manual at the moment, so I don't have any reference photos, but that's 
what I assume.  (I envision connectors similar to those used at the ends of the brake lines.)  
I'm guessing that from the factory, the hard fuel lines ran all the way to the pump.  Now I'm 
missing the last few inches of the hard lines, and the threaded connectors.

So how should I proceed from here?
