Avon front brake lines and SVA?

I have taken the copper pipe with P clips to the edge of the body, fitted a female end to the copper, drilled a hole, passed the male hose through the hole and secured hose to the body from the inside with the locking bolt that came with the hose. Is this OK for SVA, or do I need more secure method of securing the hose. From the photos in the book this looks how tiger have done it. But the brakes at the back have tabs welded to the frame for the securing the hose which is making me doubt the front.

Just looking for reassurance before I fill the system with brake fluid and bleed

Thats how mine are done, no problems with SVA. aslong as you use the nuts that come with the pipe it will be fine,

good luck with the SVA.

Hi
I did the same, and I've got no problem during my SVA at the end of march.
You must pay attention that when the wheels are on the ground and you turn them, that there's not too much tension on the brake hoses
