Default Where can I get this?

78, spacer/cushion attaches to the fuel supply and return lines above the tank. At 42 years old, I would like to replace it if I can get it. I've check a few suppliers and no luck (Willcox, Zip, Eckler's Corvette Central). Also the clamps in the last picture, what are they called and can they be purchased at auto or hardware stores? Thanks for your help, Bill

The last pic is spring action hose clamps, should be available at local NAPA type places
The line spacers, good luck, try a hydraulic supply place maybe if you're not too concerned about ?proper?

If I can't find one, it will most likely just stay there. I don't plan to drop the thank in my life time again.

Looks like Dr Rebuild lists the spacers : https://shop.docrebuild.com/1978-198...459039NOS.aspx

but their website stated they are shutting down temporarily. But at least you have the gm number to look up or if they get up back and running.

And those are fuel line hose clamps. I found them listed at Advance Auto but you need to check on the diameter. Take one with you where ever you go. 3/8", 1/4"

I believe they have several sizes.
