My last post was about the fuel line bracket and how it needs to be replaced. Well, i called Toyota and few other places and NOONE makes or produces that part anymore. Its just a fuel line bracket with a banjo fitting on each side. That fitting is stripped out beyond repair. Now i have to find someway to bypass that bracket. Does anyone have any ideas of things to do, like cut the hard lines before the banjo fittings and connect the two pipes somehow? Anything?
i need YOUR innovation!!

You could replace the entire thing from the rail, or just like you side cut the hardlines, maybe flare them a little, and put a hose on with clamps..
OR, just ask someone who's parting their supra for that piece. There's enough junk 7M's out there where someone's got to have it. I used to have an extra but I think I threw it out. I'll check though.

i have one laying here if you want it i just pulled my engine and do not need it anymore. or you could bypass it
In the past I just cut the bottom steel hard line, flared the line, then made an AN fitting style, braided steel hose to go to the fuel rail. DO NOT USE RUBBER HOSE AND HOSE CLAMPS for the replacement of this part.
First, you'll need one of these.
You'll need to use it like this:

And then you'll need to follow along here, for using the AN style fittings:
