[Tigers] Original fuel lines

Hey, guys:

At some point in time, the previous owner of my Tiger installed on of those old "solid-state" fuel pumps; the square univesal units that all the parts stores used to sell.  There is a possibility that I'm experiencing the failure of that pump and I want to change it out.  I have a new original-style pump in my parts stash and I'd like to put that on the car, but again at some point in the car's life, someone has hacked off the screw-on part of the original fuel lines that screw onto the original fuel pump.  

I know that my car can't be the only one that this has happened to.  What are you all doing for original-style screw-on fuel line ends to the fuel pump?  Will something off another car work?  I realize that I'll have to jumper what's left of the incoming and outgoing fuel lines with rubber fuel line at some point, but I would sure like to be able to screw some replacement lines onto my new fuel pump.  Any suggestions out there?

Thanks as always,
