Default 1986 Corvette Fuel Lines, Front

Hello All

My 86 just sprang a fuel leak right below the AC compressor in the flex hose part of the front fuel line. I have been searching the web to find a replacement for both the supply and return line but found nothing. Does anybody have any information where I can order these parts?

Thanks

The same thing happened to my 86 last year. I replaced the rubber lines with braided steel ones from either jegs or summit and just had to buy the adapters. A little more time and money involved but a much better functioning and looking outcome. It looks like JEGs has the replacement rubber lines too.
