The pics are red X's for me because of this work computer. But what I am assuming you have pictures of has to do with the feed line on the driver side? Are you trying to connect a stainless braided line to the metal feed line near the frame rail? If so, I'm not sure you can just find a fitting like that at an autoparts store. If anything just have a company overnight it.

You don't you take the factory one off the fender and then you have your male end. I keep male ends in stock as well but if your FAST piece is ling enough you shouldn't need any more parts.

I have the same FAST kit you are referencing in your picutres Ryan_WS6. As mentioned by others, you need to remove the factory fuel line down by the fender (the evap line can stay).
I am currently waiting on the fitting TRANSWS6AM linked. I have had issues trying to get the FAST connector to seat and lock, after repeated attempts to get the fitting to fully seat on the fuel line near the inner fender the o-rings or rubber gasket material inside the fitting have become chewed up enough to make me concerned about leaking fuel down the road. So if you are going to use the fitting that came with FAST just make sure it is actually locked on the line, and keep an eye on your o-rings inside the fitting if you have to pull it on and off as I did. Mine got chewed up pretty quickly just trying to re-seat it and get it to lock.

Thanks TransWS6Am. I was not aware of the design problem with the old style Russell fitting. Positive lock, nice design improvement, I just trashed caned the ones I have and ordered the new design from Summit.
I hope all the vendors are aware of this change and are stocking the new design.
