Here is a place that sells the hose & fittings...  http://www.dssales.net/CIS.html
FYI: if you happen to hedge on buying the RR-engine UrQ partnumber fuel-pump 
nstead of the WX-engine FP partnumber..  The inlet is quite a bit bigger on the 
nit for the RR engine.  Big enough that you cannot make it work with the stock 
lumbing.  Found this out the hard way.
On my 3B conversion project - when my FP finally died with the car still in 
ieces, I pulled down all the lines up to the firewall and refinished them all 
fter de-rusting and making sure they were sound.  I have decided to rid myself 
f the FP-accumulator and I think where my plan is headed is to take that 
eal-estate and make a supply-side surge tank.  Once I get it mocked up and 
nstalled, will document it for anyone who might be interested.  This for me 
ould be a stop-gap until I get brave enough to pull the tank to enlarge the 
upply nipple.
The other thing worthy of note: any of you that might hear the occasional or 
ven regular gas-tank "poing" noise when the engine is running...  Once I had 
he subframe and everything else out of the way under the car; I found the gas 
ank vent plastic line above the driveshaft and exhaust was completely melted 
ogether.  The pipes weren't touching anything but the line was collapsed and 
ealed.

 Steve;
 Thanks for the response.
 I would prefer to use that tubing. Is it available only from dealers or would
 Napa and such have it as well?

 Dennis,
 Are you talking about the plastic line or the steel line? Either can be made
 up up. The plastic is pretty much the same as the fuel lines used on the newer
 Audis (and pretty much all cars for that matter). Cut the old stuff off the
 metal fittings carefully so as not to nick the barbs and duplicate it with the
 new plastic line. It can be heated and formed with a heat gun. I deal with a
 few repair shops that do/did this on a fairly regular basis. Old Porsches or
 other cars use the plastic lines for CIS injection.
 
 The metal hard line can be bent and formed pretty easily. I have the double
 flare tool needed for the ends.
 
 The other option is to make up what you need from AN lines.
 The pump is easy. Pretty much any external pump made for fuel injection can be
 made to work. 034 sells a kit I believe using the Bosch O44 pump. There is
 also a Walbro that is commonly used.
