I have a co-worker with a 924S. He has a fuel leak from either the fuel line (part number 944-356-943-03 or 944-356-945-03) and needs it replaced. Is there a way to replace the lines with new ones for cheaper than $200+ that most parts places want?

When I bought my '87 there was a brass line spliced in the fuel line right over the intake structure. It was a bullet casing with the primer cut off.

Don't know how long it had been there. I noticed the line was soft there, so I cleaned it up and replaced the brass with copper line using double camps each end.

It still holds up. However, I don't recommend that for long. There is a long list of deferred maintenance that I've been working through for the past 3 years. (a stroke 2 years ago has slowed me down a bit

) If you use copper, be sure to check the line weekly at least because a fuel leak will blow up in you face.

here is an excellent write-up on fuel line replacement. Not sure if it covers your situation.

reviving old thread. Will the Rennbay kit fit the 924S?

Just from quickly looking at the website it appears that kit is for the late 944. I didn't see an early kit on the site, but if that is the one you are talking about, then it will work. The 924S uses the early fuel lines which are a little longer.

Also, you can just order the parts to make your own kit and save some money. I ran all new lines from the tank to the engine for less than the cost of these kits... just throwing that out there.
