88 Targa time for new fuel lines

I need to replace the fuel lines on my 88 Targa.

Been looking at the kits, Griffiths and Mason Engineering here and on manufacturer sites.

Anybody use either of these? Goods or bads?

Thanks in advance.

I read good things about Griffiths.

I decided however to have my local hose shop build custom lines.

Were lucky we have a world class hose shop across the street from the mancave.

Mason paul and Boxter GT both make very good products. Both have their pro's and cons

Very happy with the quality of Griffith's kit (plus the addition of the intake gaskets on the full kit). As with everything Charlie sells, the instructions are also top-notch!

Thank you for the input.

Originally looked at and was going to go with the Griffiths, but saw the Mason product here.

One thing I do like is the Griffiths looks more original.

Len Cummings (BoxsterGT) and Charlie Griffiths (Kuehl) are both great guys with excellent products. I say this having used Len’s fuel lines in my 82 SC and 87 924S and Griffiths for the best A/C components.

Will be doing some work this weekend.

Went with the Mason Engineering kit. Lines look outstanding.

Will have to reread the instruction. I'll post experiences when done.

88 Targa time for new fuel

just wanted to tell you about the Paul Mason lines. First class act all the way. I had them installed on my '86 M491. They are an excellent product and visually attractive to me at least. I had a bit of a problem with the tunnel lines. The tunnel in my car had 2 channels that are meant to house a line each. Impossible to get the lines fed into the channels due to the bends required. COntact Paul and he offered a fast refund, no questions asked. He said he had heard of this problem on ONE 930, and ONE M491.
Great service. Great product.

Thank you good to know. The lines really do look nice. Can't wait to get them on and get the car back on the road.
