Fuel lines-Stainless Steel Braided?
Is there any kit at all out there with all the hose pre-cut for the 928 lines? It would be purely for appearance. I've seen some 928 engine bays with carbs that have braided fuel lines with those awesome looking red and blue t and elbow connections.

the S4 version has little in the way of fuel lines to see,
best bet is to go with a replacement kit Roger sells it, it is all rubber and stainless screw clamps
BTW what year is your car
FWIW the stainless lines dont do well if they rub on other parts of the engine as they can cut into other parts.

FWIW, I bought a kit and had to spend may hours remaking lines and building the adapters from SAE to the German metric on our cars.
Bought the kit, bought 10' extra line, bought many more adaptors.
It looks nice but they can't touch anything else like merlin said. I'm just bull headed.
Here's the finished look. The kit had all black ends

Ah, i see... well, i'm 18, and i'm almost done highschool. Going to college in September for Motive Power Technician (Automotive), i work, and i'll be saving up like crazy, but really won't have the funds and/or time to undertake what you have with those braided lines. I suppose i'll just have to replace the old ones with a stock lines kit.
I'm going to diverge here for a second into another question i wanted to ask.
If i'm doing a maintenance job on my 928, and find broken this, broken that, would it be best to find updated (from the big 4) parts if possible on any job i undertake? Rather than going back to the same old 2 decade old materials/technology? It makes sense to me to update parts with their modern equivalents if possible.
Btw, your engine looks very nice with the touch of color on all of those parts.

i bought my own lines and ends.... turned out nice.
and if you make your own lines... get one of these!

it got to the point that i could cut the line, and get the fitting on in about 2 min.
