High pressure hose problems?

[Bob Rossato]

I don't think the end fittings will be that big of a deal.  They'll just
re-use the fittings you have and use new crimps.  BTDT on a SS fuel line.

The more important thing to keep in mind is that there is an orifice in the
factory line which needs to be cut out and installed in the new line.
