I know it's been said here before but worth repeating...use Aeroquip "super
gem" reuseable stainless fittings together with their teflon stainless
"2807-4" hose. Just cut your hose to length with a cutoff wheel...not a hack
saw...screw on the fittings and you're done. In the end, it's a little more
expensive...but you should be used to this by now...

Also, make your entire hydraulic system out of flexible hose. You can be sure
that if you ever need to remove and replace rigid aluminum line at some future
date, you'll wish you never put the stuff in your plane.

[Interesting idea.... I wonder what the weight penalty would be for all
that hose and fittings as opposed to AL tubing.  A pound here and a
pound there....      <Marv>         ]
