go buy yourself 11 feet of 7mm x 3 high pressure fuel line.  take the
lines off one at a time and lay it next to your spool cut your piece and
put it on.  the system uses about 6 ear style crimp clamps in areas so
either you will need new crimp clamps or you will need to buy the correct
fuel line band clamps busdepot sells them for about 75 cents.  if you use
regular band clamps they will cut into the hose and that is a very bad
thing, begin again finngean.  be aware that there are little pieces of
fuel hose behind the fire wall above the transmission that need to be
replaced, can you say pain in the arsch. use a small awl to spread the
ear on the ear style crimp clamps open.
