I recently bought a 88 Ae and it was sitting for a few years and the fuel line rotted. I want to buy a braided kit, but am having issues finding one. If anyone has bought one and recomends it please let me know.

Any clue how long the hose should be? I found a kit that isn't specifically for our car, but it had all the fittings and a 3 foot hose. I am thinking this is going to be too short.

Where do you want to run the braided hoses? if you want to just run from the filter to the rails the 3 feet will work but if you want to run the whole car like we did with the EP rx7 that had a fuel cell, well we used about 30 feet of -6. we also used a exturnal fuel filter mounted on the left spring bucket and about $300 worth of fittings from erals. all total with the braided hose , the rubber hose , fittings, fuel filter, aeromotive FPR we prolly have about $750 if not more stuck into it. **** i have $500 worth of fittings and hoses and a small stock mount filter set up for -AN fittings just on my engine bay alone on the turbo car. corse the only rubber lines on that car is a few vacum lines and a rad. hose.

this **** gets expensive, from just the filter to my lines and FPR I have something like $600 worth of hose and fittings, might even be more I honestly forget how much it ended up costing in the end

ya no lie there, $20 to $50 for each fitting, $75 to $175 for the Y block. hell there is 4 fittings alone just on the rails. need fittings for the rails and then the hoses. but they do look cool lol.

Summit has some pretty affordable universal type stuff. Clamps look line AN fittings but are actually hose clamps.

Has anyone priced a factory hardline replacement along the chassis?

Should be cheap -or you could bend one pretty easily.
