I thought about it and decided against it. the fitting that goes into the lift cylinder and pump is a swivel fitting for alignment of the hoses to fit behind the panels/seat back and are a pain in the rear to find (27.00 per pair(pump,ram,ram= 81.00 Unless you are a company AND a special crimping tool #$@#$ then it goes to 17.00 per pair as the most expensive set on the pump) after I got prices for most of the parts I just went an ordered a set of lines. I know they wont leak or if they do they will replace them. Yeah I have temporarily used compression fitting to get the top up to work on it. Using them(compression fittings) they didn't allow me to line up the hoses without leaking. if you tighten them up they point in weird directions and interfere with the other hoses and panels.
