Default Extending stock fuel lines for 97 vette fuel rail

The stock braided fuel lines don't quite reach the connections on my 97 vette fuel rail, plus they are perpendicular to the intake instead of parallel like the truck intake. Is there a way to extend these braided lines like another section of braided line that has one male end and one female end? Or do I have to do it with braided AN line and fittings?

You can get the quick connects from NAPA and extend them yourself using braided or standard fuel injection hose.

they fit and reach if you tweak you lines

or do what we did for mine. Mater had some stock fuel lines around and he cut a set for me and reflared them to fit

you could PM mater and tell him you need lines like mine and im sure he would sell them to you for a fair price....this way its factory fit. if you seen any of my motor pics youll see how mine is done

Thanks, I'm going to pm him, this way it looks clean and factory and I'm sure it'll be cheaper than buying AN lines and fittings.
