The hoses and fittings came from Classic Parts and the fittings were not machined correctly, so they would not seal no matter what I did. Cheap overseas manufactured parts.

I would hope that lines made up by your local hydraulic shop would still be good, even today, as they would go out of business if they sold leaky hoses.
