Default Stainless braided fuel line connector

96 Ram 1500 4x4, 5.9 gas
I posted not long ago about my fuel line leak at the pump, successfully dropped the tank, installed new fuel pump and line, up to the braided stainless flex hose. . I'm looking to replace the braided stainless fuel line connector that goes from the fuel line at the firewall to the rail, dealer says NLA, have been looking at various websites for a direct replacement line, no luck. Open to suggestions, TIA.

No, but There is a short piece of the old steel fuel line left that connects to it on the frame, it's very rusty, I've replaced the rest of the line to the tank, it has the connector tied into it, wanted to replace that too... make sense?

Have a chat with you local TSC, or similar, see if they can make up a line for you. They do hydraulic lines.... maybe they can do fuel lines.

I don't think I would trust a compression fitting on a fuel line.

You can also use nylon fuel line. I know SStubes sells the fuel line
