Years back I used on from a V8 HQ on my Stinkma.
Nice and long, just had to fiddle the fittings for the ends.

I needed a longer one to attach to my twin carbs. I ended up buying one off a Fiat. I cut the end off and bought 2 screw on fittings for the end (the second one lives in the ashtray just in case I lose the first one). It has never come off, I've had it on there for about 30 to 40 000 Kms. I have also made ends up for cables from brass and soldered them on, that is successful too (just don't get the end on the cable too hot, or the solder works it's way too far up the cable between the strands and makes the end rigid).
