More fuel line help

I have decided to replace the copper fuel line that runs from the primary to the pump (clamped to the under side of the crossmember) with a rubber hose (laying on top of the crossmember) but I am having trouble finding hose barbs in the correct 3/4-20 thread, any ideas? I could make some with the existing nuts that are on the old line but if I can find a ready made part I would rather do that.

thanks
Sam

I think it is just plain ol 3/4 pipe comming out of the filter head and reduced down to 3/8 pipe. Leave the reducer in the head and get a 3/8 street elbow..3/8 male on one end and 3/8 female on the other, and get barbed fitting for the 3/8 pipe. Ever thought of using synflex plastic hose?

The thread on the brass nut in that photo is 3/4-20, that is my problem. Is the thread on the filter side of that elbow NPT? If so that may give me the answer, just change the elbow.

Do believe that is a flared fitting so nothing will screw on and seal. Yes just change it out.
You know Wills idea of synflex might be a good thing if VO might ever be run.
Yes the outher end is npt.
