Default Fuel rail fittings

I'm looking for a/n fittings to adapt a braided line to this style of fuel rail (duckbill) but haven't had much luck.

Being that the rail is steel of some sort we are considering welding or maybe soldering on a an adaptor so we can get rid of the stupid hose clamp that holds it currently.

Anyone know where you can get a duckbill to an fitting or have suggestions/comments on trying to weld a standard fitting to the fuel rail itself. (save the take it off the car first comments as after we blew up the first one there will never be that mistake again )

That picture is too small to see anything.

There that will show you what a duckbill is. You don't need any more clarity then what it takes to see the fitting type.

I know UPR makes a conversion fitting for other style fitting with the metal o ring retainer, but never seen anyone make one for that.

Aeromotive makes fittings to adapt Braided lines to the stock fuel body lines. Is this what your talking about?

I wish they were the same but the duckbill style is rare.

The duckbill is the same little clip that holds the fuel line to all of our fuel filters. Little u shaped plastic clip.

We might have to find someone who can silver solder and just do that to a standard a/n fitting.
