Thanks. There is a Colliflower about 30 minutes from me that I've used before for other things with good results. Unfortunately, they don't have the hose ends that I need. Specifically, M16x1.5 with the DIN 7631 flares and suitable for PTFE hose. In fact, the closest that I've been able to find in a crimp version is in aluminum from BAT Inc. I was hoping to avoid using a metric to AN adapter to reduce the number of fittings, but I'd rather use an adapter than aluminum hose ends.

It looks like I'll have to go with the self-assemble type of hose ends, plus metric to AN adapters to connect to the OEM connection points. At least it will all be steel, though.

I had an OEM fuel line burst in the engine compartment a couple of days ago and almost light the car on fire. So, I want to do this once and do it right and never have to worry about it again.
