Spyder Fuel pump hanger fabrication

[Aking3ak]

Hello everybody,
I am doing a Spyder AWD swap. I have pretty much everything switched over and built the motor to hold up to 500hp, not looking to break records just a nice peppy AWD convertible. I have come to the point where I need to do something for the fuel system. The donor car I got was rusted to crap and the fuel sending line and return line snapped so that's a problem. I would prefer not to spend 500 plus on a full blown hanger. I am looking for ideas on how to get a fuel pump hanger or has anyone ever taken out the sending and return lines and replaced them with 6AN bulkhead fittings or what would be another idea? Could I go with a universal bulkhead or something like that. I know the full blown is the easiest answer, but I would prefer a less expensive option if that is possible. Anybody have any thoughts or something they have done being you can no longer get. Thank you guys in advance.

Yes, I personally have -6 bulk heads for both feed and return. I also have an electrical bulkhead for feeding my fuel pump.

I purchased my bulkheads at stm. They have ones that are as short as possible for the little room under the access cover

You said you did your return as well, what did you use to run down where it sits beside the siphon line? Just regular hose? I was thinking about AN fittings for the three on the pump side and the one on the siphon side, just wasn't sure how to make sure the return and siphon connectors still sit where they are supposed to.
