Wow, good question. I did mine back in March of 2009, and 60,000 miles ago. I would guess and I suspect I used Porsche branded hoses, but I can't prove it.
Mine just took a bit more of a squeeze. Get the two wrenches aligned where the handles are just offset, and squeeze them together.
Before. The old lines were seeping, and almost certainly the original lines from 1985.
After, much better. The are not pretty anymore and many many road trips in the rain. Adding the fan was a great project. That fan really helps in hot conditions. Even at highway speeds, the fan will cool down the engine 10 to 15 degrees. If I turn it off, the temp goes up, and back down when the fan runs.
My cooler does not have the bung for the temperature switch as it is stock from 1985. I just wired in an on off toggle switch and relay.
