Default Tank - filter fuel lines

As title guys - does anyone know if you can still get these from ford?
The one that connects to the filter with the push fitting needs replacing - the little pins you push in to release the fitting have seen better days - so much so, that one of the pins has fallen apart! - don't 'ya love shinkey old fords....

well....
apparently you can only get the filter - engine bay pipe from fords...
So... that then leads onto the question, what is the best way of resolving the other issue?
I don't mind quiping the tank - filter fitting, but will the pipe be on on the top of the tank with a jubliee clip holding it down?

You can replace 3 out of the 4 pipes (you cannot replace the return feed pipe which runs under the car)............

And now you're going to want to know the FINIS numbers!

Thats the one you can still get, think he was talking about is from the filter to tank.....

Thats the return pipe to tank (from the metal pipe running under the car!).

Ford don't do the pump to filter pipe anymore. tried them just this week. The return pipe to the tank is available. I used 8mm copper instead. The banjo bolt on the filter and the sender unit will take an 8mm compression fitting. Bent up some copper then the same as the plastic pipe. SORTED
