Hard Stainless Fuel Lines & Fittings - Where to buy?

[DBL NKL]

I'm looking for a supplier or info on where to source some high quality stainless fuel lines with 37 degree flaring tools & fittings for my 55 Chev build. It's a blower car requiring a -10 feed and -8 return line, and to be honest I really don't want to run braided line if I can help it? I'll also be needing a frame pass through or bulkhead fittings to transfer the hard lines to the outside of the frame rails on the passenger side. The frame is just over 3" thick at that point and I haven't found much for fittings to this point as most everything I've seen is designed for 2" frames.

At the moment I have a frame mounted stainless tank from Ricks with a built in Aeromotive A-1000 pump. It has a -10 inlet on the topside and I already have a low profile 90 degree fitting to go into it which will clear the floor of the car above the tank. From there I can use braided line to go into a -10 inline 40 micron filter which will be mounted to the sheet metal floor above the tank, and could then use another braided whip (or hard line) to go over to the inside frame rail on the passenger side (behind the rear diff).

Going forward I'd like to run stainless 9/16 ID hardline to just in front of the rear diff, and then use a custom pass through or bulkhead fitting to come through the 3" frame to the outside frame rail on the passengers side. I could then continue up the side of the frame and route into the engine bay atop the frame rail where I'll again need to change over to braided line up to the blower and fuel regulator. The return line will need to be -8 and mirror the feed line.

Looking for something in polished stainless that will match my flow requirements, a nice looking bulkhead or pass through, and high quality 37 degree fittings and flaring tool to make a nice job of it? Would anyone have suggestions on a supplier who makes stainless lines in these diameters?

Thanks in advance for chiming in.

the fittings can be had from Lordco in Russell with the Endura finish, the bending tools and 37 deg flair tool will be a bit tougher Ridgid tools has a flair tool but i doubt it will work on 5/8 stainless line??? Alaska copper and brass, thessen krupp or marmon keystone may be able to supply the tubing.

I rode my Harley down through Bellvue with a couple of my biker buds two years ago. We stopped off there for the night before heading down through Olympia and #8 to the coast. We took the coast all the way down through Cali before heading back up to Canada. Loved the ride down there and plan to do it again. Highway 101 from Leggett to the coast was the best part.

Did it again last year but on a couple bikes we rented while being guests of Waltrip racing at the Sonoma race. They all laughed at how much we say eh. Especially when the Canadian whiskey was flowing. Eh.

That would be a nice ride!

Used to spend the month of August every year on the boat up in Desolation Sound.... The whole family sounded like Canadians by the time we got home again.
