Thanks Kevin for that info, problem we have is the 4 lines are mounted right over the bottom bar of the carriage, the hose's have to be removed from the hose bracket clamps just to get the caps off the end of the crinped on fittings. If the hose bracket were shorter along with the hoses a couple inches it would be o.k. the way it is now, there is no way to cnnect anything but the caps onto the lines. I may have to shorten the bracket and reeve some length back through the mast to shorten the lines, I am beginning to believe now maybe an incorrect hose bracket was welded into the Class II carriage,
