I did the installation of the line and I used a hydraulic line manufacturer that I found in Lafayette Louisiana. They were in the side of the highway as we drove around seeing the sights so I didn't have trouble looking them up. As an aircraft mechanic I have also fabricated replacement hoses myself so I knew how it is done. If I had the fittings and mandrel I could have done it all at the trailer myself. It ain't rocket science and it's childishly simple to make them.

Just look in the local phone book under hydraulics. Folks that work on hydraulic rams will usually do hose manufacturing / replacement there as well. These are small diameter lines and no big deal at all.
