How strong is JB Weld

[Project Pat]

When you say broken fitting, do you mean the barb protruding from the banjo?
That sounds like something I made when mine broke on the 80.
I salvaged some hard plastic fuel line from a MK2 golf and some CIS banjos
of the proper size.  Then heated the plastic line carefully with a heat gun
and molded to fit my application.  Then heated the ends of the line and
pressed onto the banjo barb.  
You do need to practice getting the heat just right or the line will either
melt or be too rigid to fit over the barb.  That repair lasted for years
until I sold the car.

OK, I get the message.  The problem is that the part (893-201-220C, line 
from fuel pump to the pressure accumulator) is no longer available.  I may 
be able to source it but it will take a long time.  I need the car.  Was 
thinking of temporarily bypassing the accumulator and connecting the fuel 
pump to the filter directly;  can't find suitable banjo bolts though.  Any 
ideas?
Thanks.

Radek.
