MY1994 on my car were originally black as per 321 971 847 B, but I kindly like the look of the yellow ones actually better in the engine bay (and glitches do occur in the matrix....)
If I recall, Ray Shaffer stated at Rendezvous 928 that any Classic parts still in production are produced to keep the car on the road and reliable, not necessarily to keep it in Concours-spec condition. That statement feels relevant here (and a bit frustrating for a self-proclaimed preservationist like myself).
Apologies, Bruce, poor attempt at Omega clamp humor. It's interesting, on the pic in post #1, 321971847A is the yellow one, and 321971847B is the black one, same size. I only remember seeing yellow ones for the GTS breather crossover hose, but of course the black must have been used as well.
Well, I think we can all agree that Porsche supports under-hood clamp diversity The ones I removed when I did the intake refresh were black as well, but I have no idea if they were original. I looked at the '93 GTS brochure and the single engine picture in it doesn't even have the crossover breather hose. So, the world may never know.
Adding to the list of poorly documented clamps would be the little spacer clamps that are on the PSD hoses. They're not shown in the PET...
What about concours judges that know that they were originally yellow and that PET is wrong about some things?
Yeah, some judges are tougher than others. Sean Ratts is super tough! Last week at 3rd Coast he busted out his torque wrench and checked fasteners to see if they were in range. Was like a cold war nuclear surety inspection Okay, not really...

I'm gonna guess that he was just making sure the car didn't fall apart after he touched it.
'Cuz then the owner would blame him, and expect it to be fixed for free.
