[V8] Low pressure hose rebuilding ?'s

[Korn, Bob]

Spokane hose did my rebuilds and they reused the banjo fittings, cut and
brazed them onto new crimp fittings,  and put swivels on the other end(high
pressure hose only), made assembly a little easier.

I agree that a local rebuild would be cheaper. I think that my hose may now 
be a little too short for just reswaging as I had cut a short section off
last 
year so I could get to some better hose to reclamp onto the reservoir and I 
had to cut it again this time to get it off the reservoir without breaking
it. 
The only reason I'm considering buying new factory hose is that if the 
originals lasted this long then I figure the car will be put to rest before
I would 
have to worry about them again. I did notice that the PO must have replaced
the 
high pressure hose to the rack as it looks much newer so hopefully I won't 
ever have to deal with that one. On the rebuilding side of things, if I was
to go 
this route would they typically reuse my banjo fittings? I ask because I 
imagine that any shop local to me would scratch their heads over the
o-ringed 
banjo fitting.
