Hose clamps

I then sourced 3 odd meters of fuel pipe from VW heritage. Along with some jubilee clips this enabled me to join the feed pipe using a joiner to the petrol pump to evaporator to carb. Then a pipe jubilee clipped to the return. I do not have the pressure problems you have as I run a carb! If I remember I will post a pic later.
Pirtek - that sound like a plan.

Clamps - really those are a better option? I am using a standard pipe clip you would use on a radiator pipe. Correctly sized obviously for the 7/8mm pipe on the fuel line.

VW Hertiage - I went looking there and didn't have any luck, some suggested Audi Hertiage. But struggled with them too..

I need these obviously "double sided barbed pipe joiners"
But no doubt there is a technical term I need to figure out

Thank you for all the replies.
