Exclamation Screwed non fuel lines?

Hey guys, I have the 944S and wanted to get the SS braided fuel lines as soon as I read the few posts about the stock lines failing and burning up engines.
Well I contacted SFR and they don't have a set for my car.
I am not sure where else to look, any ideas? Also, does anyone know if the turbo lines or the 8V lines will work on my S engine? They are a different part number but still possibly close enough to work.
Any help would be appreciated here folks.

Just get a new set of OEM lines. All of the fuel line failures I have seen were on 951s. The 951s have a lot more heat under the hood than their NA counterparts. Then it still takes over 10 years of use to make them fail. I am sure replacing the lines with OEM ones will be more than enough to keep the lines on your 944S from failing.

check for the old threads, I described where and how I bought my braided lines from outside vendors. It was an easy replacement/upgrade.

Happens to both... happened to mine... though the 951's surely do it more often, so it seems.
