The pictures below should give an idea of the fuel pump lines and fittings on the car now.
The fuel pump works, but sometimes requires tapping with a screwdriver to start it ticking. It has a tag on it identifying it as an SU AZX1307 pump. I would like to replace the fuel pump, probably with an electronic SU type pump, before it lets me down on the road.
As you can see in the picture, the braided line with the banjo fitting looks far from new. So that needs replacement too. I'm assuming that is the line from the tank, and the rubber/steel line with the fuel filter runs to the front of the car. Haven't poked around enough under there yet to confirm much.
None of the parts suppliers that I have looked at sell braided lines like that with banjo fittings. I'm wondering if that is an original part or where it came from.
If possible, I would like to order the needed parts before taking this apart. Can anyone tell me what is available with correct fittings at both ends to replace the braided line or another way to replace this? I expect that the fitting at the tank end also is an obsolete British fitting, as on the early BN4s that I have a little experience with. I would rather not buy a full fuel line set and just replace the parts from the tank to the pump.
