Here is what I used.
-5 AN tube nut http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=AER%2DFBM3571&N=700+115&autoview=sku -5 AN tube sleeve http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=EAR%2D581905ERL&N=700+4294846159+115&autoview=sku -5 to -6 coupler http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=EAR%2D991907ERL&N=700+115&autoview=sku I actually used steel parts however but I can't find them now. I cut the beaded part off the stock fuel line with a small pipe cutter slid the tube nut and sleeve over the stock fuel line then put a single flare on it. It wouldn't seal at first because the nasty seam in the stock tubing that just wanted to split but I found a small soft brass washer and tightened the fitting down with it clamped between the sealing surfaces and it and it basically welded itself to the fuel line creating a nice seal.
