I just use regular hose clamps... does that make me a bad person?
I just want my 951 to look like it did when it rolled off the production line - it gives me a kick....

Like most things, all zip ties are not created equal. Metal insert type from T&B are probably the best, about $.15 each for small ones. Inexpensive ones, 100 for a dollar or two, are not good for hose clamps, of much else.

todd it went well but, I wouldnt write up about it here. hehe. If you want you can pm me and I can give you a play by play.
Just know that a 300rwhp 951 will walk a new 400hp much more heavy GTO.

They look just like the original factory version.......I've been trying to find those without success. The Swiss Porsche dealers are of no help....

It's a litle bit heavier than a tie wrap, but I never had any problems anymore regarding hoses coming off.

The fact that they're single-use isn't exactly encouraging, though.

FWIW, these came with a Porsche sticker on the packet marked "Schlauchschelle" with the part number 999.512.455.00.
I ordered the larger size 27 kind for some vacuum hoses on my S2, and they come in sets of 5 units at €0.99 apiece.
These are marked 27.1 OET PAT. From the old ones, I can tell that OET stands for the brand OETIKER.

Rob, I just got some of these from the dealer. How do you crimp them? With regular pliers?

I'm using this tool and just squeeze the small bulge/ear:
Is this what you call a regular plier?
They are indeed single-use, but I'm using them only for the small vacuum lines and I don't intend to disconnect them often. Furthermore I have enough of those to replace all of them twice. For the larger lines I use those clamps you can open and close with a screwdriver.
