I got the replacement kit from 928 Intl but the hose is one piece meant for cutting into 8. I tried looking this up in PET but no luck. Anybody know this length in millimeters?

Landseer

Made mine exactly 50mm.

I just had them in my hand today. I can measure them tomorrow when I get to the shop if you're still unsure.

Orest, I am sorry I cannot answer your question for you. I did want to point out, for posterity, that I have had sets from 928 intl and 928s R Us. Rogers set was pre-cut, which was great. One less thing to deal with.

I just measured a set. 1.75" per tube. I'm too lazy to convert that to metric for you.

From the responses the range is between 45-50 mm. I think the plus/minus of 5 mm is within spec. Thanks so much for the posts and especially Landseer for his pic of precision hose cutting. I will try to make do with steady hands and a razor blade across a cutting board.

That the easy way and just as effective.
I can't see those little itty bitty markings on the tape measure, so I cut them all at 2 inches. As long as they are all even, they work just fine.

Just a tip if your using a razor blade mark the hose bend it back on it self and touch it with the razor blade it will cut like hot blade going into butter

Landseer

Razor blade works, but I had ragged edges on the first car, so was experimenting with the tubing cutter and used a heavy aluminum pen as a liner. Worked nice with a new circular blade, but took longer.

Sailmed

I know I used a few blades so they stayed sharp.


Uhmmmm Chris,
I realize having multiple 928's "cuts into" your expenditures, but buying new razor blades help.

FYI, I just measured some brand new in the package Genuine Porsche replacement hoses and they are 42.25mm long.
