[s-cars] High pressure hydraulic line

[Kirby Smith]

Igor:

Sorry for the late reply, I realized when I downloaded 51 emails this
morning that I neglected to read Sunday's.

The restrictor is built into the hose using crimp sleeves on both sides,
like those on the ends of the hose.  (And I don't think the restrictor
is your real hydraulic problem.)  [Huxley readers are asked to resist
making the obvious comments.]

Let me make the measurements and get right back to you.
