89 80 fuel leak

[George Selby]

Well I was at work yesterday and noticed my car was really hard to start 
when it had been sitting for more than a couple of minutes, and noticed the 
odor of gasoline present.  I immediately thought of a leaky fuel injector, 
so I drove home and pulled them all out (went quite easily compared to my 
Coupe!)  Anyway, they don't leak.  So I energized the fuel pump and looked 
under the car, and in the area of the fuel filter gas was dripping.  I 
jacked up the back of the car and investigated further.  The cause of the 
leak:  The hose the connects the filter to the hard line is leaking.  The 
hose has multiple visible cracks if you bend it around your finger and is 
therefore totally shot.

My question involves repair suggestions.  Since it's the piece that 
connects the fuel filter and the entire rubber section is bad I can't 
splice in a hard line, and because the rubber line is connected to the 
banjo fitting with a hard crimped splice, I can't just replace the entire 
section.  So what to do?  I went to the junkyard up the street and got a 
banjo fitting I could cut open to splice in line from an 85 4k, but the 
banjo was one size larger and the hose was one size smaller!?!??!
