Default WTB straight vacuum line couplers

On the throttle body '87 and up there are two straight vacuum line couplers. In the pic below one is shown. Where do I get new ones? I only have replacements for the elbows.

Cant you make them from very small vacuum hose? Looks like that to me. [although your TB looks so clean you probably want to use genuine porsche parts] I think the size is 3 or 3.5 mm.

In PET it does not show a straight connector but shows a 90 instead. I use a 90 and cut it in half (close to straight as it flexs) and it does the job fine.

This is even easier, thanks. I seem to have checked in my common sense sometime ago and forgot to check it out again.

Correct, the straight coupler is not shown on the 928 PET, however it is shown on the 964 PET....

as Porsche part # 928.574.747.03, nomenclature: connecting piece

Nice find! Thanks! In contrast to their car building, Porsche seems (or seemed) to be pretty sloppy at documenting stuff.
