Colin,

5052-0 hydraulic tubing in a .035 wall tubing is rated for ~3700 psi yield,
or ~1200 use. You might want to check to see if this is what you received
with your kit.

The tubing however thins quite a bit at the flair, thinning the wall
considerably and lowering the working pressure. An easy solution for this is
to use .049 wall tubing instead.

You might also be over flaring or over tightening the joints causing them to
thin and fail. Just a thought.....Scott

Commiseration on all your hydraulics problems. I can empathise because I went through a completely
different set - but equally frustrating -set of hydraulics problems! Mainly involving leaking, or bursting,flared joints.
