[QUOTE="StuZ, post: 1456, member: 19"] I have made a few hoses before, and there are ways anyone can screw them up. NAPA people generally have good machines, but the crimp on a hose is no different than how tight you tighten a hose clamp. Too loose it leaks, too tight it leaks. Here are a couple do's and don'ts Never put a new end on an old hose, it doesn't matter if your time is free, it just isn't worth it. If you are going to crimp a hose end on a hose, make sure it is at least "2 wire" hose vs 1 wire or braided hose. The reinforment of 2 wire hose is needed for anything above 1200 psi. Most cases metal tubes are used because they are cheaper to make, but there are cases where they are needed because you can retain them better, or because of heat passing them by. If you ever have to replace a hose between the hydro pump and motor, better go with OEM hose. [/QUOTE]
