So on the advice of the forum (And my old BMW which caught fire) I bought the 3-piece fuel line kit for my 944 Turbo (supply, return, rail to damper).
I've read the instructions and it seems pretty straightforward as a DIY. I've done basic work like oil changes swapping wheels but not much more complicated than that.
Any tips from folks who have done it?

Make sure the replacement lines and fittings do not make contact with the brake lines and also at the clamp to prevent fretting of a brake line or an aluminum fitting.
