Just a thought.
Edit - There's someone on the forum who (custom) rebuilds them, too. I forget who it is. Maybe he'll chime in.

Thanks Raydar, I saw a post about custom hoses, but it appears that person has been out of touch as of late, and a few people want to hear from him.
We were talking about this at work today, and I think I will have to investigate getting mine repaired.
We make our own hydraulic hoses at work, and big dummy me is the guy that showed everyone else how to do it, so maybe a "government" job is in the near future.
Need to take a real close look at it, but it looks like it is at the crimp and not the metal being damaged after thinking about what I saw last time I was under it.
Fingers crossed..... now just to get up the desire to climb under there and take the old one off.
90 degrees out with a dew point of around 61 and climbing, does not motivate me much.
