3259 715 original transfer tube gaskets. Anyone have a source ? I would prefer to use the original fittings before going with different
fittings .
Thanks
Original fittings were made by Imperial Eastman® under the FLEX® brand. If an entity of that name still supplies the same design I can't find them. It is possible to get replacements in the Parker® equivalent. Otherwise you might see if an industrial supply company that makes gaskets and hose assemblies will make you some seals.

"I" would call it a square O ring rather than a gasket. Holley has made several "runs" of replacement carbs and someone in their "custom shop" should be able to supply a source /part number. "Square o rings" are not anything exotic in the industrial world.

Try a search under 'compression fitting'.

I've always used cut-to-size sections of fuel hose, never had a problem.

Dave ,
It's best when there isn't any thread in it. Some fuel hose is like that , not "all".
Randy,
I've used both types for many years, never paid much attention because I've never had any problems. Just checked the specs...ID: 3/16", OD: ~7/16".
What kind of issues can the hose with threads cause?
Thanks,
Dave
Leakage. As the hose "crushes" , the rubber separates from the threads and "can" cause a leak/ breakdown of the rubber.
