Send me the lengths and the AN sizes and I will help you out. I can get a small roll of hydraulic line and the correct fittings for you at a very good price too! [email protected]

pm "Jb-fse" here on OSO. He can get whatever you need at a great price. I have dealt with him a few times and was very pleased.

the hose is hi pressure hydraulic hose. with reusable ends. the come in stainless or chrome/ nickel plated. you'll need the mandrel to install the ends. and tape and a new disc on a cut off wheel if you dont have access to a chop saw. clean thoroughly and install. use a good lube when installing the ends. the hose size is -6 and the ends are most like ly -6 j.i.c . maybe s.a.e .

My latham were SAE and if you only need four I would recommend just buying them assembled rather than buying the mandrel and messing around with all that stuff.
