Buy some steel brake line and some tube benders and make your own. Pretty easy. I have made a few.

Thanks DSeries 4, I got some tubing at napa but it kinked too easy in the bender. Might use what didn't kink and splice in a rubber hose and in line filter temporarily as the tank was really rusty/gunky. Got it cleaned out, but don't want to mess up an expensive carb rebuild. Probably end up repairing the original line to use in the future if I can't find a replacement

How sharp a bend do you need. Usually can do at least a 90 with no problem. Brake line is cheap. Buy a roll and start practicing. 20ft coil is maybe $25. If the steel is too hard for you use copper nickel line. It is real easy to bend. It does turn green after awhile so clean it occasionally or paint it.

Thanks Ed, I'll try that, 90 degrees is the most bend I need
