Is this CIS fuel line FUBAR???

I had asked where I can get a replacement earlier here with no answers:

81-83 fuel line, WUR to fuel distributor NLA???

Now I am wondering if I really need a new one if it is NLA. This is the line I am talking about. Why the heck did they make it half rubber?



And here the rubber end going to the WUR. Is this bad news? The insulation is cracked and came apart more when I took the line off. What's inside the rubber? Steel?



Hope to get a go / no go for this line. I sure would feel best with a NEW or very good used line. Again, does the earlier all plastic line fit?

For the lines running running from the fuel distirbutor to the injectors is it possible to have some lines made up similar to the areoquip lines?

I belive the metal lines found in 1981+ cars are all that is avaiable and I have a hard time swallowing $30+ a line for what they are.

According to the PP catalog it is the reverse. Only the earlier, all plastic lines are available new. The later half steel half plastic line seems to be NLA!

I have no trouble paying big bucks for a new line. I am sure a custom line will cost you more. Also, if these fail, your car will likely go up in a ball of flames.
