Default 3psi poppet regulator

I mentioned in another thread I had these 'poppets' made set for 3psi, they don't look like a regulator and go anywhere after the pump and need to run back into the line from the tank. At 3psi they open fully and fuel flows in a loop, it keeps everything cool and would help those with vapor lock issues as well.
I'm not good with show and tell stuff, so...
the 1st pic is the poppet, it is -6AN (3/8ths)
the 2nd pic is a mockup showing everything, the poppet is wide open and returning fuel, the pump in my wetflow bench is a race duty 250gph holley, you'll never see the volume & pressure it makes and the poppet was at 4psi
The next 2 pictures shows how I plumbed it into a SBC, it tees into the line going to the carb and returns to the line supplying the pump. This sbc will get triple two barrel 94's.
I have a few more of these poppets, I had hope to find the old weaveloc hose and brass doubleflare crimped fittings to make a complete package but I keep coming up short on that stuff.
Anyway, shoot me a PM if these will fit your need.
Moderator, if I have crossed the line I apologize and please delete this thread.

I can ship them to you for $50, as long as I can do the USPS flat rate package. I am trying to find a source for the old brass doubleflare crimped fittings, if any of you have a reccommendation let me know. I would like to be able to plumb these things into a modern fuel system and use period looking hardware, I can get close but I'm just not there yet.
