Trailbeast,

I just found an excellent tutorial on just that....making your own, custom length hydraulic hoses.

The only think I could see that could make this better is that the attachments coming out of the trans would be a 90 degree to save trying to bend the rubber hose around..

I just happen to have a farm supply store near me... I will go there later this week.

Just to confirm, the fitting sizes are 1/8" NPT and #6 AN ?

Thanks
Ian.

Yes, 1/8 NPT but not sure about the AN
I used to have to have hoses made for some of the equipment we repaired, like ditch diggers, backhoe's and fork lifts.
That's when I actually found out about what all they could make on site.
I am going to chk into this AN style stuff, but I'd bet a standard hydraulic line is going to cost a lot less and I don't need pretty, I only need reliable.

Personally, I would want straight out fittings at the trans because I want to run the lines out to the inside of my subframe connectors and then forward.
I would want 90's at the radiator.
