K Series Fuel Rail Hose Fitting - Specific Type

[revilla]

Hi, 

I'm posting this in both Wanted and TechTalk because it's a bit of both!

The flexible high pressure fuel hose on my car (2001 K Series VVC 160) has a fuel rail end fitting like this. Please excuse my laziness, I didn't want to take the car apart so this picture was done in Paint.NET but you will have to trust ne that the one on my car looks just like this:

 

It has a metal barb to attach an 8mm flexible hose which exits straight downwards from the fuel rail. I'm looking for another identical fitting for a project and I can't find one anywhere. The nearest I can find is on a Rover 200/400 fuel hose which looks like this:

 

This has the barb exiting at about a 30 degree angle to the right and isn't suitable for what I need.

Caterham's current offering is like this:

This has a length of rigid pipe before the flexible hose section, which is also not what I'm looking for. I'm guessing at some point Caterham must have supplied the type as found on my car.

Does anyone have a spare / old fuel hose with the fitting shown in the TOP photograph please? Hose condition not important to lond as the end fitting is useable. Or alternatively, can anyone point me in the direction of a source of them, or tell me what vehicle they may have been used on?

Thanks,

Andrew
