Leaking fuel line

Went out for a drive yesterday, but unfortunately noticed a strong smell of petrol. When I got home I lifted the bonnet and the carbs were soaked with petrol. It seems that the braided fuel line between the carbs has perished and is leaking, first soaking the braiding material, then dripping on the carbs.

My question is, I've bought some new pirelli braided pipe, so is it just a matter of taking off the old and putting on the new, or do I have to prime the carbs or something - as you can tell I am a novice and really don't want to have to go bak to the garage again!
