You may have to buy a straight piece, and bend it and flare it yourself. Not a hard job, with a little patience.

It is braided stainless, it is flexible, like a faucet supply line. It is badically a hose wrapped with stainless steel mesh. Cut to length, put the two fittings on, and good to go!

You are pretty much confined to bending one yourself or finding one in a junk yard. They just aren't available. Inline Tube may be able to help, but you may need to supply the proper length and details. I'm not sure.

Years Owned: My first Toronado was a 1968 W-34 with the bucket seats and center console... (weeps gently) It was a New England rustbucket in 1982 after less than 14 years. So sad. But it is what infected me and before I knew it I had another '68, a '69, a '70 and eventually inherited a friend's '67 and another friends '73. After buying my brand new Grand Prix in 1988 I retired the last of my Toronados and pulled the 455 I had rebuilt along the way and put it into storage in a friend's barn where it is to this day.
In Mid September of 2010 I happened to see a repeat of the show where Jay Leno did his 66 Toronado and had an instant remission of the disease which resulted in my purchase of a 1969 in very good condition. I am now in the process of fully rehabilitating it and hope to have it on the road in the spring of 2011.

I have a bit of solid tube at each end with modern rubber gas line between for now. Once I convert to Fuel Injection later this season I will be bending custom lines.
I have my Fuel Injected Toronado. Life is good! 8-)

I used this opportunity to buy the metal ends and install a metal in line fuel filter between with short rubber fuel hoses to connect them. That gives you the flexibility to make the line fit. The extra filter always helps.
