Default JIC fuel rail hoses

Im looking to mibi fit a jic fuel rail, so just wondering the best place to get the hoses. I have a 2wd reg and a jic rail with fuel pressure gauge take off. Also how do you connect onto the original pipes, just with hose clips or a olive compression fitting to jic.

They are in the US and cheap. You can buy online with ease as everything has pictures etc.

Very quick delivery also.

I have seen a fitting before that is a straight tube with a flair on one end and a -6 jic fitting on the other end, would be perfect for rubber lines but I suspect your talking about the OE plastic fuel lines ?

Either way try thinkauto mate as they are very helpful, dont ask them what thread a 2wd reg has though as they wont have a clue lol

The escort has metal lines up to the bulkhead then the rubber hoses clip on, so a compression fitting to jic will work.
Has anyone drilled the nipple off of a 2wd reg and tapped it out for a npt to jic fitting?
