Default Does anyone know where I can get a new fuel line to go from the hard line to the rail

Hey, I want to replace the line that goes from the hard metal line to the fuel rail on the drivers side, I want something in braided stainless steel. Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

The C5 comes with a braided line from the factory?! No kidding. Does it matter what year I use?

Well that does help things having those on there. Could you do me a HUUUGE favor and measure the length of the Corvette line? Thanks!

No, I relocated that one, I used 5/16 fuel line, and extended the electrical harness and moved the whole thing out of the way. I'm trying to clean up my engine bay and get stupid **** like that out of sight, out of mind

If you have any pics of this line replacement, post them. I would like to see how it looks for personal reference. My engine bay is all stock and driving me nuts!

And for the guy looking for pictures.... https://ls1tech.com/forums/fueling-injection/287910-why-do-corvettes-have-1-fuel-line-camaros-have-2-a.html

Moving the line really doesnt do a whole lot for appearance alone, but it allows you to use the newer style FRC's that fit the FPR better and have one hole instead of 2, and use the braided stainless line, both of which help to make the LS1 much more visually appealing because everyone has to admit, the LS1 is a damn ugly engine in stock form.
