So once you have your hose ends in hand you need to adapt them to a new standard hose size which you can have cut to length. This way you will have your custom length and if the hose gets damaged from wheelin' you can easily go and get another one. And of course since you have standard hose ends you can just go BUY a hose length that already had standard hose fittings on it! You don't have to have a custom hose pressed together. They have hoses hanging on the wall or sitting on the shelf at equipment dealers or diesel repair shops.
The trick is finding the right dude to help or the right shop to weld together standard hose fittings to your applications metric fittings. That's why when you see mine you will notice that they are composed of the factory fittings with standard hose fittings welded to them.
I'll post some more pictures of that process soon. :]
