Why not use steel? It's inexpensive, realtively easy, and original. I used a piece of pre-made brakeline from NAPA of the correct length and shaped it match the original. Be sure to include a short length of reinforced rubber fuel line between steel line and fuel pump to allow flex.
Good luck!

: I'm removing the tub on my 3A and have had to cut the steel fuel line from the tank to the pump because a PO had stripped all the fittings at the tank and midway through the line.

: When putting everything back together should I use steel or just go with a rubber line?

: I'm not going for a factory resto, but a functional one and have seen posts about using both methods.

: Any pros and cons for either are greatly appreciated...

: Thanks!
