If you want to use what you already have, and spend a LOT less than $137.75 ... there is another way:
Cut the crimp rings [hack saw or Dremel tool] off that short hose shown on the hard scavenge line. Remove the short rubber line and take the ends to a local hydraulic hose shop. Tell them you need some oil hose, and they will be able to show you several choices from Goodrich, Goodyear, Aeroquip, and others ... including plastic, fabric, and metal sheath covered. If you use a piece of old 3/4" garden hose to lay along the intended route, and secure with Adel clamps ... you should be able to estimate the needed amount of hose to within a 1/4" or so. I suggest getting at least 1" - 2" more than what you estimate initially! Have the straight end crimped at the shop and take the hose and loose end home for another trial fitting. Cut or mark the loose end when you are sure about the correct length of hose and intended mounting locations ... there is some flexibily at that right-angle junction to allow swiverlling the flex hose up or down a bit. Cross your fingers and have the right-angle end crimped on after you mark fitting and hose with a longitudinal alignment line for the technician to use during assembly.
Good luck!

Hi Warren,
your suggestion was the first thing that I tried to do. I stopped at a local shop "Hose Connection" to fabricate a new line but the owner didn't want to touch it. He only works on really heavy duty hydraulic stuff.
So I'm gonna have to go this route. But it sounds like you've been down this road before?
