You posted recently about needing a banjo fitting to the fuel filter.
My answer then is my answer to you now, the best source of a cure is to buy lengths of the line, from a junkyard or junked car somewhere, then splice them to what is good in your car, using high pressure fuel injector hose and fuel injector hose clamps.
What are you asking for, the sections from the fuel pump to the fuel filter, and from the fuel filter to the engine?
These are formed shaped lines, and even if you could buy the entire length of the line it wouldn't be much fun installing it. Could be done tho as I think these run along bottom of the car, in clips.
Just what is bad now on your car? You earlier said it was a leaky banjo fitting, which I said was rare. If it's a kinked and cracked line, you need to find a 9000 that hasn't been crushed and pull what you need from it.
Cracking the banjo bolts free from the fuel filter, without kinking and damaging the lines, isn't easy, especially in a junkyard, without an impact wrench. But you can hold onto the hex made on the ends of the fuel filter by clamping it tight in 10" vise grips, and probably hold things still enough that you could succeed.
But this is underneath a car, that has to be jacked high enough to work and see what you're doing, likely in mud or oily sand, or cold rain. And gas will drip out of the filter and lines you disconnect.
Maybe, if you can find a junkyard that still has one of these, you could convince them to flip it up onto its side so you could work.
You could try Gold Wing (site sponsor) for this but it falls into the class of parts too trivial for them to have pulled and not worth their trouble to get off any car they may still have intact.
Maybe someone reading your post has a parts car they could take what you need off from, and ship to you.
The big problem is these cars are being crushed as fast as they get to the junkyards these days, and there are fewer all the time.
