Default Fuel Line Questions.

I am installing my turbo kit soon and plan on doing away with the OEM fuel feed and return hoses in the engine bay and replacing them with braided lines. I am going to get the hose and fittings I need and make the lines up here in the next couple weeks. I will be running an STR fuel rail and Aeromotive FPR... I plan on feeding the fuel rail through the FPR from the front and running the return out the back. I plan on upgrading my under car hardlines to -8 AN in the near future and so that I wont need new braided hoses I want to make them -8 AN now and then upgrade the steel lines and fuel pump later... So basicly what I want to know is how do I attach the braided lines to the OEM hardlines? Is there a way to place an AN fitting on those lines so I can just screw the braided lines onto the stock fuel feed and return lines? Any help you can give would be great... diagrams, pictures, photos from your builds all would be helpful. If I can see it I can figure it out and do it but I just am not sure as I have not done this before.

Here is a picture of what I want my setup to look like (hope you dont mind I use your pic nate... also if you see this maybe you can help me out as you would know better than anyone):

tube to AN adapters. Problem is you will probably not find (easily) a metric tube to AN fitting readilly available. Just wait till you convert system fully.

FYI. I spoke with a couple of different shops and they recommended against SS Braided Fuel Lines. The fuel will eat through the line and people get fires. I believe you have to replace the lines 7 years or less, but despite the aesthetic value, I'm sticking to my rubber..

Those are for -4AN they have all kinds of sizes on the site.

Get two of those incase the first one doesnt crush the washer correctly and always good to have a backup. This will allow you to do the return line.

For the feed line just contact Full Blown Motorsports. They make an adapter that screws onto the feed line on the firewall that i will change the thread size to that of an AN line.
