Fuel pipe manufacturers help!

Does anyone know of someone who can manufacture new front to rear fuel pipes for my 1990 Audi V8?
Got them off the car and place I took them too in Bristol after having them for 5 days have just rang to say they can't make them

If it's down to corrosion can you not just piece in some new pipe?
Below is what you'd need I think.

What is the reason they have given, for not being able to make these?
I've not looked at mine yet, but I've made some parts before. On the UR, I had to have them made simply for lack of working space- given the quality of the work, I wish I'd done them myself.

You might need to salvage some parts from the old pipes.

Tony on here?

He's made some pretty complicated parts before. He made a new Power Steering Loop for my MB - excellent materials and workmanship. He was looking at making new fuel lines for WR quattro's if he got some to template from, that was a while back.

You can only ask?

Took a drive to Merlin Motorsports at Castle Combe and got 6 meters of Goodridge Aluminum 10mm od tube and some nice blue anodized fittings and no flaring with compression fittings
Just need to finish bends on the car,hopefully this should do the job,not cheap about £150
