 well that is a tough repair / do you have the rest of the parts of the fiber glass ?  this would make it more  viable .


It may be  repairable but in long run  might show  the repaired areas due to location .

I will agree with most of the above comment......with the exception of the ethonol versis rubber parts ..... and brass fyi.

I have removed hoses from my car that externally looked fine  but were crumbling inside . and those little bits of rubber  hold open those needle and seats on  the holley carb .fyi

and those cheap correct stamped hoses are usually made from  the cheapest supplier .

I replace all hoses before any event every year .

The junction hose on the 68 between the front and rear fuel line swelled  so much in storage that the line pushed off the spring clamps and emptied the full fuel tank .

The other fun thing with  ethanol fuel s that it is conductive .

And causes galvanic corrosion  issues with fuel level floats and needle and seats .

There is a reason all new cars have stainless fuel lines and plastic fuel tanks .

I have not had any issues with old original fuel tanks ....but the cheap replacement ( non galvanised on the inside tanks.... will barely last a year . before they rust and clog the entire fuel system.

In my opinion this is why there are so many vintage car fires under the hood . those hoses between the carb are just waiting to soak that distributor cap!

These issues were seen on a private collection i maintained and cars {over 100) were from 1910> to present day  . we kept race fuel in most of them . or stored them empty for long terms.  most of cars were driven every 30 days .
