Default Looking for a nut kit

So, I am at my wits end. In the process of changing out the spider injection and the nut kit. I was able to order the spider injectors, however the nut kit is almost impossible to track down.
I live in Canada, and when I think I have found one, they don't deliver to Canada. WTF?
if anyone on here has some insight as to where I can find a nut kit, it would be most helpful.
Thank You

What nut/bolts are you looking to replace. I just had my engine rebuilt not long ago, and had to order a bunch of parts from different dealers/sites.

Hi Don,
They're actually not bolts or nuts at all.
Don't know why it's called a nut kit.
But, they are actually fuel injector fuel lines. They are the two hoses that connect to the spider injectors inside the intake plenum.
Thanks,

If your looking for the lines, you might find some good ones at a scrap yard. But you don't say what year and model you got. The lines you posted don't look familiar to me...

These lines do NOT like to be disturbed once they have been installed. As such, I would not recommend used getting used ones. I have seen lines less than 6 months old leak after being removed due to other issues and that was with someone being careful. They are fragile, fickle things.

As far as sourcing replacements, have you tried a GM dealer? What local parts suppliers have you gone to that cannot source it?

So, yes. I have tried multiple local GM dealers, and their systems all show the lines as being "discontinued". The fellow told me that once a part is discontinued, they have no way of sourcing a replacement. No dealer in Canada has them.
Have tried Canadian Tire, NAPA,Partsource, Piston Ring.....none have stock anywhere in Canada.

Online, I have tried Rock Auto, Parts Avatar, AutoPartsWay, all out of stock and don't expect stock for 3-4 months.

Amazon.ca....out of stock
Amazon.com...has stock, but don't ship to
Canada. Which normally, isn't a problem, I'm an hours drive to the border, but with not being able to cross the border, I can't go pick it up.
Damn!!

I see what you mean now. A lot of online retailers are showing it as out of stock.

My local NAPA can have it to me tomorrow (PN: NOE 7002370), but that doesn't help you any.

Yep!! However, that PN, is one I haven't seen. May give NAPA a call tomorrow, and try that PN. See what they say.....worth a shot. 😁
