You can easily make your own for the return line. I have used braided stainless and that new black nylon Aeroquip line before. No reason why you couldn't even use a piece of fuel line.
For the feed line, I normally use one of the Russel pre-fabbed -4 braided stainless lines. You can get them from the chassis shop at www.chassisshop.com.
If you want to do something quick and cheap for now I'd suggest getting some 1/2" heater hose and look on www.mcmaster.com for the fittings you will need. I can go look up the list that I made for mine a while back. I had the same thing happen so I basically made my own lines. This winter I plan to replace them with braided SS lines
I believe all you need is a 3/8 NPT to a 1/2 hose end fitting to put on the SC then 1/2 fuel line or vacuum hose. It may be 1/2 NPT..doubt it but check with vortech. Summit sells the fittings in there plumbing dept for like $5.

This would be the cheapest and fastest way.
Otherwise do SS. I did it for mine and is like $40 total.
so i can get 1/2" heater hose from the ace hardware i work at and a 1/2" pipe to hose fitting from there and it will work fine? whats npt mean?
Mine is a 3/8 to 3/8 fitting, from Vortech. You can use that lightweight aeroquip hose, it's just like what Vortech supplies. Lee
Yup, you can probably find the fiting at a hardware store. You have the fitting in the oil pan though...correct. If that is 1/2 you'll definitly want a 1/2 hose fitting. However if it is 3/8 then that is the fitting you'll want.Quote:
