Default Fuel line from filter to rail

Well I need a new one. I installed a fuel pressure regulator considering I am going to be running nitrous. Turns out the default setting on the regulator was as high as it would go and it ruptured my fuel line.

So that leads me to my question, is it possible to somehow take the fittings off the ruptured one and put them on another piece of hose. Honda wants over $60 for a replacement and best case scenario I wouldn't get it 'till Saturday.

I can get a section of hose for $5 from the local parts store, but these fittings are pretty odd.

A junkyard could also be a good source for the part.

I don't know how you have nitrous set up, so I don't know how much more pressure you will have in the line. You don't want that to rupture when you are driving.

Junkyard is good. I don't like reusing crimped fittings for any pressure applications unless I'm positive it will work.

Yeah I was thinking about the junkyard, but I work during the junkyards business hours.

I wish there was someway to just get a steel braided line with the correct fittings on it.

Take it to a shop and ask them about putting the fittings on a braided line for you. If it's possible I'm sure they would. I just wouldn't trust DIY for that fitting plus running nitrous.
