Any one know what the thread sizes are for the fuel line connectors under the expansion tank?

Going to get some new lines because the fuel line that goes through the right angle connector (its a 4.2) to the fuel rail is cracking. The right angle connector looks to be 7/16 UNF unless anyone knows different. But I can't get to the connectors under the expansion tank without removing it.

I guess I could cut the old fuel line off the connectors and fit some new hose with a jubilee clip. But I was considering getting some made up with swaged connectors.

thanks

Can't remember the thread, but why not do what I did and reuse them? I took the lines off and took them to a hose factors and had them fitted with new ferrels, point to note you can't use PTFE Stainless overbraid hose as you can't clamp the hose with a jubilee clip.

Thats a much better idea. I had it in mind to keep the old ones intact. But why bother if the hose is dodgy anyway?
