Here ya go:
I used a chrome fuel line similar to that Trans Dapt2197 but it has a threaded female thread on the end. I used the fittings shown to connect it to the OEM repro fuel filter which is mounted lower than the stock location. I made a new return line to mimic the stock one, but it's shorter for the lower filter. I use stainless line, a flare tool and a simple tubing bender to make my lines. It's not hard if you give it time and have enough tubing to make a few mistakes.

An old school trick works for me is a spring..if you have no flares on the line yet go to the hardware store and find a door spring that fits over it..the kind that grandma had on the front porch for the screen door..put it over the line and bend it..then once it fits good put your flare on it and your done..I would avoid putting sand in a line that is being used for fuel..who says you get it all out..and the sand would have to be packed real tight to make that work which means the sand would have to be wet to compact..IDK..doesn't sound like the best idea..another thing is of course a tool to bend it..
