Hey guys - My car has a factory replacment fuel line (but 1/2") and I'm running a Clay Smith mechanical fuel pump. The inlet on the pump has a 1/2" barb fitting and I'm wondering where I could find some regular old rubber fuel hose to connect the hard line to the pump? No one seems to have anything bigger than 3/8". Thanks

Have you tried any local heavy equipment places or a hydraulic shop? That's where I usually find hose that the "chain" stores don't have.

ps please put some sorta flare on the end of the steel line and double clamp it

I had to call a bunch of local autoparts store in my area to find it but they did have it in stock.

i would bother looking at the big chain stores the mom and pop places would must likely have it.
Good luck

You will probally have to convert it to AN flexable lines and fittings to get 1/2 inch
