fuel line broke on pump assemble? What now?

[mygsx2120]

The line that is part of the assembly itself broke when installing a new pump on my 1g, AWD. The assembly is very rusted and I was going to just replace it, but I can't find one anywhere except from Satan at a price of $530. My question is 'Can I just buy a fitting and have it welded on to the assembly? Then I could just buy SS line and another fitting for the end the goes on the fuel line up the the engine. Any ideas would be highly appreciated as the car is my little brothers DD. Thanks

Do you have enough line there to flare it, and get a flare nut on it for some -an fittings?

There is not much material there, it broke off right at the assembly. It is worth giving it a try though. I am just worried that the metal is too thin too weld onto. I really don't want to use JB Weld as a temporary fix. Thanks for the suggestion. I will post back once I go to JEGS tomorrow.

happened to me a few weeks ago. After a few min of searching I found this and it worked perfectly.

if you could figure a way to go from the AN fitting to whatever the stock fitting is, I bet it would work perfectly.

hope this helps.

Sorry, I didn't search too much, I am at work. That link is exactly what I needed. I might just say screw it and go ahead and do some SS line up to the rail. Thanks for the replies.

Also just a side note for anyone who searches and comes across my post. I found a place called tricounty radiators when I googled 'eclipse fuel pump assemblies', they can rebuild any make for $120. That was going to be my plan B.
