Depends if you're talking about the return line, which is low pressure, or the high pressure line from pump to rack.
Confess I don't know precise spec of either!

If you are in the UK, just get Pirtek to make you new lines. Their hose exceeds the Porsche requirements by a wide margin. Both my 928s have them and are wroking fine. Get them to fit swivel fittings to make it easier to refit the hoses. The RHD path is quite convoluted as the hoses have to follow the cross member across the engine bay

Thanks will get them off and go to Pirtek
.., take the pipes with you, try and remember the orientation of which way they go, I only had the one to do ( the awkward one) and the lad was able to fit the swivels correspondingly . Once refitted at either end, you leave the swivels slack and then are able to move the pipe into a satisfactory position and tighten up.
