Default Fuel pump SOCK replacement?

I am still having fuel pressure issues after installing a new fuel pump... one of the suggestions i am entertaining is replacing the fuel pump sock.

I am searching and cannot find anyone that carries these and i have heard others have this replaced.....

So my question is - where are you getting the sock's from?

Thanks

John

I am actually on the phone with LPE now to see if they will sell them seperatly..

Someone has got to have these....


---------------------Update--------------

LPE can sell these indivdually - a whopping $14.72 or something like that - worth the money in my opinion if you are doing a fuel pump replacement.
