Did majority of the welding last winter and thanks all for helping me locate correctish jacking points, golf ones have gone in plus have done back underneath battery, there a couple other bits and I have black calipers stripped and new bolts etc, need to free them up.

My attention turns to the fuel lines which I pulled off couple years ago now at the back and intend to now replace them all. There are couple reasonably priced hoses for the rear and I am going to get a roll of both 10mm and 8mm pipe and I am going to try do them hardline all the way up front wheel arch and to bulkhead and then flexi from there, thinking of turning the regulator round so both connections are facing back and pipe will be well away from above manifold. However, despite loads info online I am struggling to 100% ID connection going to damper. I see waleswood selling a jumper line that seems good value. However the other engine bay ones I wish to do myself. So 8mm return is jublee clipped to regulator but what connection is to damper, I read somewhere it was -6 JIC or something but its hard to work out. Probably do the rest pipes in AN6 but can anybody let me know what I need for damper. I know on other side it will be hardline to an^ connections but no idea what damper actually is, many thanks in advance for any pointers

is it something like this I need
AN -6 (-06JIC ) Male to M16x1.5 Female Swivel Adapter Fit Bosch Regulator BLACK
 
I want her to get one last MOT before she turns historic in Jan 2026 and no longer needs one.

Out of curiosity I emailed Porsche Aberdeen to see about recall on jumper hose all the same, not heard anything back, lol, car way past too old to honour it?
