Question red lock ring on fuel line to pump

Anyone ever found an automotive fuel lock ring that would replace the red one on the 1700 kawasakis fuel line to the fuel pump bottom of the gas tank. Kawi doesn't sell the lock ring/tab separately. All leads would be appreciated.

Can you rig up an alternative using a piece of hose with a hose connector and clamps ?

You might have to tank the gas tank to Napa to find a fuel connector like the original ?

Really like the Napa idea. Didn't realize they sold the lock on connectors for fuel line. They likely will have lock rings to fit as well Thanks redjay for the tip.

Good idea redjay. Got me thinking about taking in the whole fuel line in if it wasn't too hard to remove. Looking at the parts blowup it doesn't look to be that hard to remove. Pretty cold here to be working in unheated garage so will have to wait till spring. I always seem to break things when the cold makes things brittle. Thanks for your input.
