They are expensive because they are precision tools that HAVE to do a
100% job. Get them made up as suggested - not good to have a home made
brake hose blow when you put that extra "stop real fast" load on the
pedal....
On a slightly similar note - one of our Australian warships had a major
engine room fire where a few people died. Traced to a contractor doing
a lousy job on the engine feed fuel line crimping..........they
blew........ah, the joys of "economic rationalisation" and "contracting
out".....
