Hey guys,

I'm going to be upgrading my fuel feed and return lines with SS and earls fittings. The fuel feed on the pump can be replaced with a 12mmx1.25 hose end fitting. But the stock return line has about a foot of hardline, which I want to eliminate. Is there anywhere I can buy an aftermarket fuel pump bracket which has NPT or metric ports for the feed and return ports?

In this pic I'm talking about part #6. The banjo line can easily be replaced, ut the hardline is going to be a little harder to replace.

 

u can cut the hardline going to the pump housing right where it straightens out and flare the end. then do the same on the other side and run a rubber hose and hose clamps.

 

Well I kinda wanted to get rid of the hardline altogether. I thought about cutting it off completely and drilling and tapping the hole so that I can screw in an NPT fitting for my return line. Where does that hardline go to underneath the flat circle part? Is there another hardline on the bottom part that lets the fuel drain down into the tank? or is there just a hole on the bottom part of the flat circle part and the upper hardline just drains through the hole?

EDIT: I'm looking at my service manual and it looks like the upper hard line goes through the round part of the bracket and it continues on underneath it where it runs alongside the fuel pump cradle.
