Question, it's pretty oblivious to me but just wanted to be sure. On the cylinders, for the hose fittings to properly seal should I machine a flat spot where the threads are? I'm thinking with the plastic sealing ring on the fittings they will need to have a clean flat surface to seal properly. Correct? I'm onto finishing up with the hydraulics and clarifying all those little details that seem to drag on a build.

yes, then put a lil thread sealant on the threads and you should be good .
