Anyone know where I can get the sprung steel 'cages' that allow the fuel pipes to snap into the quick disconnect receptacles on the bottom of the fuel tank?
I've had to change the fuel pumps due to my 2001 XKR being laid up for a while and the cages have fatigued and broken, so my fuel lines now do not stay in place.
I've tried online and local dealers, but cannot find a part number. For the moment I have some Ford ones from Autozone that I trimmed to fit, but they are far from perfect.
Thanks,
Tim

Fuel line quick disconnect 'cages'
A little over $8 apiece. Now I just need to get that damn tank out again.....

Hi Steven,
Thank you VERY much! You are a life saver :-)
I'll be ordering my 'stuffer pins' straight away.

Those little gems are in the catalogue, but it's kinda cryptic.
Part number is EBC9606, it's called a 'stuffer pin'. it is the assemblage of seals, spacer and spring steel retainers for the pipes. You'll need to GENTLY remove all the parts from the recesses, the assembly listed above is all on a white plastic pin that is pushed into the recess, then the white pin, the 'stuffer pin' is withdrawn. You are then ready to insert the pipes. All will be sealed and latched in properly.
Cheers,
