Default Replacement hard fuel line

So looking for a replacement hard fuel line that goes down the passenger side of the car on the floor on a classic Impreza, as the body shop broke the end off mine while trying to remove the fuel tank.

Most breakers say the ones they have are rotten. Guessing you can't get these new anymore.

Anyone know of any aftermarket ideas?

Why not get some made up at your local garage?

If you mean the metal ones that run along the inside of the passanger sil these go from the bulk head behind the dash along the sil then out under the car and are fitted before and dash/interior is fitted so unless you fancy removing the dash your gonna have to just make a joint repair unfortunately mate.

Yes do they really run behind the dash/bulk head?

Sounds like you're right

Convoluted ptfe hose - 6 .
Think Automotive can knock you up a braided hose that will do what you want , you can tie it in a tight knot and fuel will still flow freely and you can thread it any where , no hard pipe needed .
Also you can get a nut and olive system from think automotive that will join on to your existing hard pipes from memory .
