I'll second checking out Pegasus Racing's web site. Their printed catalog has a little how-to on putting AN hose ends on steel braided hose. I've gotten all my hose stuff from them.
Cutting the braided hose is a bitch. I wouldn't even attempt it with a hack saw though I suppose with some patience you could do it. A cut-off saw is the only way IMO. I bought a little electric one from Harbor freight that works for AN-6 hose, but you'll need a real one for bigger hose. The Pegasus tutorial recommends wrapping the hose in glass filament tape before you cut it to keep the braids from flaring before you insert the hose into the connector. I also recommend the Koul Tools hose assembly tool that Pegasus sells. It's kinda pricey at $70, but I just got one and the aggravation it saved me was worth the price.
