broken vacuum lines
Following an afternoon pulling my cylinder head on my 951, several vacuum lines broke. In my attempt to find replacements, I stopped by the Porsche dealer to purchase new ones. They didnt have the proper photos in their database for the 951 and I dont know the numbers to order the proper item. The 2 from the intake manifold are shot as well as the one that runs along the cylinder head(eventually heading to the brake booster). Any help is appreciated.

That stuff is all Napa type vacuum hose. You can even get the "T's" and the junctions from them. I did all new vacuum hose on my 951 when I first got it. One or two were brittle and broken so I replaced all of them.

I agree with Scott... go to any Auto parts place and they will sell this stuff by the foot or segments ...fairly cheap... but if you want the actual part numbers email me... and I will look it up.

Thanks for the help. I am concerned that the curved sections are not available at Napa. I dont really care where I get them as long as they will work. Some of the bends are fairly sharp angles and I dont want to bend straight hose in case of a potential kink(one of them has a 180 degree bend).

You dont need the original plastic hose. Any comparable diameter rubber hose/tubing will work fine. I have replaced all my plastic tubing for rubber as I couldn't find the plastic either
