Gents- I need to know where to get solid metal fuel lines that I can bend myself. The new block in my boat came out of a boat that had an electric fuel pump. My original block was mechanical (Please don't debate the pros/cons of electric vs mechanical) I have a carter electric pump (marine spec of course) but the inline/outlet holes are in a new position so I need to bend new fuel line from the filter into the pump. and the pump out and up to the carb. I don't know if braided fuel lines are allowed, I assume not and probably won't go that way even if it was CG approved.

Current part numbers that I'm replacing are 97326T and 821761T

You either have to make them yourself as Bt Doctur suggest or I do believe you can run braided lines from the pump to the carb. Would certainly be the easier option although possibly slight more $$
