On most cars including Porsches the hard line does attach directly to the flex line at a bracket of sorts. 911s have a steel tab mounted directly to the strut a few inches above the ball joint mount. The flex line goes in one side and is attached directly to the hard line. There is a spring clip that fits into a slot on the lines that holds the whole shooting match in place. The back is similar except it mounts to the control arm. The spring clips are pretty standard and can be sourced just about anywhere. IMO if you have not replaced the clips, you should when next you have the lines apart.
