Source for old merc 60 6hp internal fuel lines?

1965 merc 60 a 6hp twin.

Part 32-34572. Oldmercs claim to have one but the end fittings are enough bigger that it won't fit. Rubs on carb at one end and shift shaft at the other.

This hose is about 5.5 inches long, runs from hose adapter to fuel pump inlet, has a 90 on one end and a 45 on the other, both crimped onto the hose, pipe threads into the orher pieces. Not enough room to fit regular barbed fittings. Really a bit of a pita as this is the only thing stopping this motor from being used, runs sweet when carb bowl filled by hand.

Any input will be greatly appreciated. I would like to keep the stock arrangement as I think it will last and function better than a cobbled together solution. Pictures tomorrow.

Perhaps a hydraulic shop could make up the lines that you need?

Got it now. Had to file inlet elbow a little, but the main thing was that with so little clearance, the angles of all parts involved have to be "just so" or it won't work.

Tried posting a photo comparing the two but network seems to be slow today.

Good for you. A little ingenuity goes a long way.
