Hoses are costly now

For $850.00 you can get four of these puppies 1 inch, 30 inches was the longest hose

Amen to that.   Got a quote from a Hydraulic supplier in Fontana for 6 ft of 2" Parker series 7395 EZ form(flexible) radiator hose. Just over $400 !   (They must have seen me coming - but I've bought there several times before.)   Found nearly the same thing (Grecato-Super Flex) in England for $145, and that includes shipping. Could not find anyplace in the USA that supplies Grecato.   Cheers,..Brian R.

I agree.  I changed my 8v92 for a Cummins m11 and was surprised at the money it took to hook up all the hoses.  I have no idea where you are located or what your needs might be, but there are a couple of places I go to get hoses for the bus as well as industrial projects I work on. 

This place is local to me so I can walk in an pickup up what I need, but they have a robust online business as well:  https://www.hoseandfittings.com/   

These guys are less expensive, but I haven't used them yet is: https://www.discounthydraulichose.com 

I have used quite a number of stock hoses and fittings from this supplier as well: https://www.surpluscenter.com/

Just options to consider.

Durwin, all 4 hoses were different length with old connectors, they wouldn't use, 3 different styles. It would have been nice to get them off the shelf,  but it wasn't to be....

Only way to get hoses off the shelf Tom might be at a salvage yard but you know as well as I do how that would work out New hoses= Piece-o-mind. Used= a crap shoot where like in Vegas the dealer always wins!
 You made the right choice Tom.
 Remember you have already invested $$$$$$ to this conversion.
 With old hoses "when in doubt throw em' out"🙂

Understood...The first two options specialize in custom hose assemblies, so not "off the shelf".  Not saying you could have specified what you needed, just putting options out there for future needs.
