    Fuel line fittings source needed

    Guys
    I am using a Racor 110A fuel filter which has a 14”-18 nptf female
    So I need a male thread to attach with a barb for my 7.5mmx 12.5 fuel to feed my weber carbs
    Does anyone have a source ?
    Brass preferred no red/blue connectors
    Thanks for assistance

    I have read where brass is not a good material for use in fuel lines due to the leaching of metal particles.

    Old school brass had a little lead in it. Wouldn't do much to an ICE, think back to leaded fuel. Reasoning for the ban was lead in drinking water. As long as your fittings are solvent compatible do't worry about it.
