Default Fuel lines - options

I always preface my questions with me being on the other side of the planet. Ford just at me funny even if I ask for Merkur parts. No OEM stuff available here for me.

My fuel lines are pretty scabby, usable but scabby. What are people doing for upgrades? Braided line the length of the car? Making new lines from stock and doing the ends?

you can get the fuel rail with a thread welded onto it then get the braided line to suit, going from the pump to the fuel line.
