Here's a point of contention, All of the hydraulic hoses on the Heli lift trucks use a metric flat-face O ring fitting that is not available locally, it either has to be ordered from the dealer at hideously high prices (I was quoted almost $500 for one section of hose) or the fittings have to be custom ordered from an aftermarket mfr with engineering costs, or, the swivel end has to be cut off the old fitting and silver soldered onto a modified stock fitting. On a typically $30 sideshift end hose I am paying upwards of $150 to have this done. Also, every hose seems to be attached on at least one end to a union that is also a weldment, so a full conversion to JIC or something isnt feasible.
