Default Broken fuel line

So in removing the carburetor I snapped the fuel line. I do not want to bend my own and would prefer to just buy a replacement. However I'm having a hard time locating one that looks identical to mine. I have a 350 magnum 94 Talari. Does anyone know the part number or where to locate a fuel line for this specific model?

    Would something like this work?
    https://www.amazon.com/Sierra-18-811.../dp/B000N9K0L2

    It may be impossible to find an exact replacement.

    Buy a coil of SS line at a local parts store (NAPA would be best) and have them make one for you using yours as a template. Actually SS pipe is more vulnerable to vapor lock problems than insulated composite hoses. If you really want SS, then consider braided/insulated SS.

    I thought it was recommended to stick with factory parts, in this case SS? Isn't SS safer then a rubber tube?

    Well, how did yours "snap"? Nothing fool-proof about metal lines. I would consider how hot it gets inside your engine compartment. Mine is very cool all the time, but I'm not sure that is normal. Synthetic rubber might not hold up if it's very hot.

    It snapped because its 23 years old and was weaked due to corrosion. It happened while removing carburetor. I thought that if rubber was a good idea the factory would have used it. Regardless I think I may have found a match using the engine serial number.
