I received a new set of hoses from Techna-Fit

The bulkhead fittings match the OE configuration exactly (from Left to Right - OE, Techna-Fit, ER)

The rear intermediate lines fit properly

The strain relief on the rear line looks good at maximum bump travel (which is where I had a concern with the ECS brake lines)

As I have mentioned the ER lines are made by Techna-Fit for ER (who for some reason choses to specify the wrong bulkhead fittings). So before I sent the ER lines to the dumpster I cut open the strain relief to have a look at the crimp and the construction of the strain relief itself. The strain relief is hard plastic and it supports the first 0.6" of the hose from the crimp.

I haven't installed the front hoses yet because my front end is disassembled.
