I ve 2 problems on the right side fuel rail.
One is to find a nut to maintain the fuel line
The second one is to have the right size nut to fix the last tube on the fuel rail under the car.
I ve got a donor S3 for my restoration and it seems that the size of this parts were not the same. Now I ve sold the rest of the donor car. :-)
I clearly dont where I can find parts.
Thank you for your help.
Michel

Hi there,
The fisrt nut which is pressing the olive on the union has been found at automec, the link is here :

Thank you Mgcjag for this link supplied.
Clearly, the 9/16'' with 24 threads is not easy to find. After several contact through France, UK and US, I finally founf what I was looking for.
For the one which is maintaining the union on the crossmember underneath the car, it has been harder.
I finally found someone very very helpfull!
Dean Kothmann from fitting connection does have a complete bulkhead union with the good dimentions.
He decided to send my free of charge the nut I was lookin for. Once again thak you Dean!

I've received by regular mail the nut:

I'm now able to close the fuel line and go ahead on this topic.
I still dont understand why the current E Type parts suppliers do not have the underneath car fuel lines available. Am I the only one to face problem to get this kind of part ?
Cheers
