Default Best place to get hydraulic lines

I moved my trim and tab pumps and need shorter lines. They were long to start with and now I don't feel like wrapping them back and forth.

Where is a good place to buy or should I have a shop shorten them?

Not sure on how much pressure is in the system, but you can get braided stainless line and AN fittings that are good to 1000 psi from summit and make your own. Definitely check with someone who knows how much pressure the system makes first, though.

Yep, I found a local shop that does snow plow hoses and such. They made a steering hose for me real cheap. Do a google search for a shop near you.

Phil, I had a couple of mine remade by a member on here, forget screen name, but you gotta be real careful on clocking the fittings when the lines are cut to exact length.

Found it

Parker - PTH-3 is the hose.

Or you can do hard lines. You can either use the coated brake lines or use flareable 3/16 stainless.

Or you can use swageloks, with flex line and hardline.
