RE: hydraulic hose

[Aleksander Mierzwa <alex@matrix.com.pl>]

A competent hose shop can fit a new hose to the existing fittings for a
fraction of the cost of a new one from the dealer. If you can't find a
"hose shop" in your area, check any shops that repair hydraulic
appliances. I've repaired one of my oil cooler hoses at a hydraulic lift
repair shop and a friend of mine has bought a rack hose from the
manufacturer of heavy building gear (surprisingly, it was a direct fit
:-)
