I replaced both hoses with new 3/8" fuel injection hose, it fitted snugly with a bit of a push to get it on. The line to the carb is same size as fuel pump inlet/outlet and same size as the fuel filter inlet/outlet however I notice the fuel line where it exits the chassis is smaller OD. I've also replaced the old clamps with stainless steel clamps.
The leaks stop when I tighten the clamps so it's not the fuel pump; I don't think.
I drove my car down to sisters (over an hour away), it sat for over a month and when I started it up it was leaking again. I tightened it up with screwdriver and drove to Picton for Cars N Coffee. Just before leaving I started it and checked underneath; no leaks.
I drove to Sydney and later that evening I headed out to the Mystery Cruise. It leaked again as I left my garage, this time I tightened it with ratchet spanner and there was considerable slack, it needed a few quarter turns. Drove from Parramatta to Newport for the cruise, drove back home no problems.
I started it up this morning and it was leaking again; I tightened it up again with the ratchet and there was considerable slack in the clamps; again a few quarter turns to tighten them up again. This morning only the outlet was leaking, usually it's both but both clamps needed a few turns and I don't over-tighten.
I have a feeling that when the car gets hot it expands the inlet and outlet pipes thus expanding or loosening the clamps and/or the hoses; when it cools down again the inlet/outlet pipes shrink but the hose and or clamps do not.
Here's a picture of my set up.

I guess my next course of action will be to attach a brass fitting and pipe going up to meet the carby pipe and have hose connector joining the two. However, it would still leak at the inlet pipe; unless this can be changed so the pipe is longer?
