Rigid fuel line brass end fittings

Does anyone know what size the brass fittings are on the rigid fuel line? I know to the accumulator its 14mm with 1.5 thread and the pipe size is 8mm copper/nickel. Just need to know the rest so I can build up these lines at a reasonable price!!

Thanks for any help

pretty sure its m12x1.5. try to fit one of your old ones to the fuel pump end fitting if it goes in then yep m12x1.5

wheres a good place to get these?

id start on ebay, failing that look for local hydralics places

my mate is coming monday with fittings , he reckons its all stuff he uses at work all the time , will get him to write down what it is

I've ordered from these guys now

M14x1.5 union to fit 5/16 pipe. I'll give it a try when i get it through the post and let you know how it goes.

hmmm , its not 8mm pipe at all , 6mm , using swagelock stud couplings for the ends

Gsf sell em?

honest ?  do you have a part number or anything ?

i've been going doo-lally trying to peice together a fuel line for the missus car, i've put a KR engine in place of her 8v carb engine in her clipper, i have bought an accumulator and a bracket for it, i know i need an external pump but before i get to the rear of the car to do this i want to finish the engine bay, i need to mate the fuel lines that are there to the K-jet and need the fittings !

there doesnt seem to be any definitive answer , 6mm od , 8mm od , fittings , no fittings etc , weighing it in often looks the best option

There are no part numbers given for either the fuel line or the fittings as they are just stock items. Brake lines are 3/16 or approximately 5mm outside diameter and fuel lines are 5/16 or 8mm outside diameter. I got both my brake and fuel lines from local factors but the fittings are more difficult to source. Mine arrived today so i'll fit them tomorrow and then we'll see for sure.

my old steel lines appear to be 6mm od , god knows

The fitting for the fuel accumulator discharge is an m14x1.5 5/16 union - I ordered mine from scparts.

As for the fuel line itself, its def 5/16 copper pipe. Wether this refers to the id or od i dunno, but quote that size to the factors or ebay or whatever and order 8m if youre doing front to back x 2. I used 7m, but its good to have a bit over. I cut mine too short, and had to join using male/female/male unions. This pic is in my flaring kit, leave about 5mm poking out, and make sure the former is dead square to the pipe,  and the press correctly aligned.

For the metering head end i'm not sure exactly what fittings i need yet. Seems a banjo fitting is needed.

actually was so intrigued last night i went n checked again at midnight lol , pipe is 8mm od , flare for it is same as yours , am re-doing mines neater with new pipe n benders , hopefully find fittings for the two front ends yep , thanks

yup you need a banjo bolt and fitting for the metering head, but trying to get a size / thread pitch is like trying to get blood from a stone !! my banjo bolts are non-existant /

when i plumbed the buicks fuel system i used this place:

they were very helpful, it can help if you draw a simple diagram of the system front to back then you can list all the connectors male and female etc  to make ordering much easier.

i may well have ones left over when am finished , have you tried the wanted section ?

Just to add now - fuel lines in and return from metering head are:-

M12 x 1.5

I have run my copper fuel lines into the bay to the drivers side mount. I will connect them here to the rubber lines using jubilee clips, run the last foot or so, then use the slide on banjo above.

That gonna stand the pressure??
