There's a place near my work that made up all my braided lines im really happy with the work they did and think they are a decent price, if you cant find anywhere I think il be getting some more lines made up soon so can get yours and post them to you if you dont find anywhere
Any hydraulic place will do it - there are quite a few local outfits near me, so I'm sure it will be the same your way?
I have used them 4-5 times for oil - some don't like/wont help with brake stuff as they are not insured/certified etc
pirtek if you like to spend.
Its called swaged (spelling) as opposed to crimped ;) if that helos when searching and asking them when called

Ask the maintenance dept at your place of work who they use.

What people's general views
Get one's swaged?
Or just use push on with decent heavy duty clamps?
Should be a hose and hydraulic up by you buddy used them before for the digger hoses,
Definitely swaged. I've heard of and had first hand experience of a few jubileed oil pressure lines coming off.
I know Benns came off but I think his were incredibly well lubricated with Autosol (other metal polishes available).
Mine came off at 100mph.... Oil went everywhere! That's why i didn't make RR. And at PVS 13, one blew off on the very slow drive in.... That was with 2 heavy duty jubilee clips on them.
So yes DEFFO get the swaged/crimped.
