Are you referring to the individual injector lines? Carl does offer a nice $et but if you have functional lines that you want to pretty up you can just get them re-plated. Get as much hardware re-plated as possible in the same batch, it will cost about the same whether you just have the lines or if you have a big bag of hardware.

Hi Brad,
If you are talking about the rigid lines I have a set of new stock ones.
Best,
Roger

Does it have the "Do It Yourself" manual transmission, or the superior "Fully Equipped by Porsche" Automatic Transmission?

The fuel lines are the ones one the passenger side engine compartment. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about from Carl's site...
Roger is that what you have to replace?

Rubber and Specialties made my braided 3an lines. About $25 each. Got all 8 plus lines to and from the WUR for about $250. 10mm banjo on one side and 12m_1.5 on the other. Take one injector with you take make sure they match the seat angle.

Couple crappy cell phone pics of the lines on the intake. You can pay more for 90* elbows for a tighter fit, but I went cheap and like the look of the braided lines sticking out.

Didn't understand which lines you were talking about.. ooops. Rubber specialties can still make the supply and return lines for pennies on the dollar. If you have a local one, they make them while you wait. Again, take the old ones with you.
Carquest can also make bradies lines. I never understood why they are so expensive from the vendors. Not that they're not allow to make a living, but I think their suppliers are on crack.
Rubber Specialties uses Aeroquip fittings and 3000psi, teflon lined hoses, pretty much the best you can get.
