I'm such in idiot. It is the braided lines. Number 2.
So next thing I do was jump online to order one.

AutohausAZ - out of stock
ECKLERS - out of stock.

And they have no idea when they can get them in.
If someone can help me out, would be much appreciated.

Otherwise I'm thinking maybe I could make my own lines with a flaring tool. does anyone have any advice on doing this?

Cheers

Tom

One of my injector lines was scavenged from a Volkswagon with CIS (I'm not sure which one; it was from a pile of parts).

Many Cold Start Injectors used the same type of banjo fitting that the early fuel injectors use. I'm not sure if the '79 is early or late style though.

That's one option. . .

It's not an identical replacement part, but it gets the job done just fine.

I found a local supplier that has banjo fittings.
Might be able to repair it after all.

Otherwise if that fails, I might just take up your offer DOCO.

Cheers
