I was in the process of replacing my fuel lines using an6 EFI fitting since I didn't want to see any hose clamps. Did anybody ever use the following fitting which have a convex seat to fit bosch damper and regulators?
I would be weary of anyone selling generic parts like this. Greg Brown had some made over in Germany a few years back for this exact purpose on our cars.
I would contact him just to be safe as an engine fire because of a sub par component is not fun to deal with.
This could in fact be a quality piece and the size may even be right. My concern would be the union of this end on a line that would be safe for a fuel line. Do you feel comfortable enough to fabricate these ? Greg Brown makes great fuel lines.

If you want to use standard -6 stainless braided hose, I carry hose ends that go directly from the -6 hose to the 16 X 1.5mm inverted flare fittings on the dampers and regulators.
These are considerably cheaper than buying my prefabricated PTFE hose with crimped on metric hose ends.
The downside is that you will be using a hose with a synthetic rubber liner, which will not last as long as PTFE. However, the hose ends are re-usable and you can change the hose whenever you feel it is time.
Some skill is required to assemble the ends onto the hose....pretty minor skill. The ends are a German design and require a slightly different assembly technique than any US design hose ends, in order to not damage the inner liner of the hose.
The ends are black with gold collars, which is a very nice look.
