Go down to the dive store and order the hoses you need in the right length.  
Do-it-yourself swaging of hose fittings, high pressure or low pressure, is 
likely to have a steep learning curve, and the results will be failure of 
life-support related equipment at a potentially critical point.

It's that old risk of occurrence versus result of occurrence evaluation.  
Risk may be small, but event catastrophic, so the risk is unacceptable.  
It's a sliding scale that many do-it-yourselfers fail to assess accurately.
