interesting - what does porsche do?  what size are the crush washers?
normally they come in 3/8" and 10mm sizes.

i had no problems using a straight 1/8" NPT hose end, but if routing
is an issue, 90 degree fittings are available.  i'd much rather use
NPT than banjo.  for one thing, i don't have to get new crush washers
when i disconnect the line.
