Angry Searching For Fuel Hose Connectors

I've got a 1986 Audi 5000S. It is leaking gas, replaced the fuel pressure accumulator...still leaking!! I got some used connectors and they leaked even after being coated with JB Weld. I have been searching the net for new fuel hose connectors for a month. No one carries them! I'm looking for brass connectors. I did order some plastic ones but they sent push on ones instead of screw on and they look so flimsy I'd hate to depend on them. It feels like I've contacted a million sites. Does anyone know where I can find some? My car looks great and runs great except for this. It's been my baby for 15 years, don't want to lose it for a couple little connectors.

The connectors I need are brass 90 degree angles. They are about 1 1/4" high with a horizontal arm 1 1/4"long. The Female end has a six sided nut which fastens it to the fuel pressure accumulator. The male end is ribbed and is inserted into the fuel hose. I need one with a 5/16"F end (with a nut) to a 5/16"M with a ribbed end. The second is a 3/8"F end (with a nut) to a 1/4"M ribbed end.

Fuel pressure accumulators were used on all Audis and VWs with CIS (continuous fuel injection) from 1977 to about 1988. They corrected a hot start problem. Mamasaudi
