Default Got some new lines made!

Got some new nitrous and fuel lines made at HSW and have a couple of concerns. First of all these are -3 lines going from solenoids to nozzle. I ordered some of the smoke coated lines and when i got to looking at them i noticed that the opening inside of the new ones is really small compared to the regular steel braided hoses. Should i be concerned? Here is a pic:

Were the line's in the original system 3an as well or were they an SHO style hose? If they were SHO style then thats the difference of a SHO insert vs just a 3an insert.

It very well might have been that the insert wasn't machined inproperly and no one caught it or something to that nature.

When we get/ make custom hoses all the 3an stuff has always been the same size unless something was machined wrong.

Yes, the original are 3an. I got them with an older kit. Got them with a NOS single nozzle wet kit. I dont plan on spraying more than a 125 and wanted to make sure it would be ok.
