Spider Fuel Injectors

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

       Use 5/16 (8 mm) hose.  Cut the hose with a utility knife.  Get an 
Exacto knife with a long pointed blade to finish cutting the old hose under 
the "hat" at each end of the hose.  Toss the hats and use hose clamps.  I put 
one spider together with no hose clamps and it held fine.  You will find the 
nipples the hoses fit on are barbed and hold the hoses quite well.
       Some people say you need high pressure fuel injection hose.  I have 
had no problems with generic fuel line from Napa.
