Default Fuel line from tank, Mark 9

Help! I have searched and searched and cannot find the copper fuel line that comes from the bottom of the fuel tanks. It has a unique flare fitting. I need two. I also have the tanks out and could braze in another part that would be more compatible, but thought I could try to get this and the nut that goes with them. Any leads?

Fuel line from bottom of tank to pump

Fuel tank fitting compression type unknown

Is your issue with the line merely cosmetic, or is it damaged/leaking... ?

Unfortunately I have looked everywhere I could think of for those fittings and I haven't been able to find anyone that provides them. The whole fuel line system back there is an odd duck.

If your fuel lines are leaking at the joints, or couplings, copper seals (of the correct size), together with a thorough cleaning/burnishing of the mating surfaces may solve the problem:
