How do they look when fitted in place? When you fitted them did you get the feeling they were in there "solid" enough? I've got the impression that there is a bit of pressure from the flexible hoses pushing back onto the solid ones...
...I mean the nightmare situation would be that the new joint in the lines kinks and they leak. Sorry to sound so paranoid!

It would be nice to see what type of Compression Fitting/Collar was used, the part number, and who made them.
I have read that some of the Compression Collors for hydraulic use bite into the metal when the Nuts are tightened. So I guess that would secure them well enough.
Other then it looks ugly I only replaced the Hose part and installed the new hose with double Hose Clamps.
3 years plus and with the exception that one seeped a little and needed the Clamps tightened I have had no issues.
It was a cheap fix and I did not need a Hydraulic Shop.
