s.steel braided hoses again.
seems like the only hoses that are SVA approved are the ones with crimp type connection; these can be rubber or stainless steel.
the type that use olive and nut type fittings are not ok.
Guess which ones I have fitted after removing the rubber hoses?
Bu88ery and bo77ocks is what springs to mmind,.
Anyone can please confirm this before I once again get covered in brake fluid

mine is at L.Buzzrd - what chance have I that the inspector will not reliase? They are covered with convoluted tubing that can ofcourse be moved.
Statistically I'm bound to fail but if all passes excpet the oses, then that would be annoying.
Qurestion is, do. I feel, luck, well do I? 
(guess I'm gonna have to tame 'em off.)

Hi,
I have made up my hoses using Euroquip hoses from Rally Design. As far as I understood, these were supposed to be okay for SVA as they have an inner
metal supporting tube against which the olive could compress.
Have I missed some change/clarification in the rules?
Cheers,
Craig.

Hi,
There seems to be a bit of inconsistency about that and many people have passed just fine using the compression fittings, provided they have an inner
supporting sleeve. The SVA manual section 16.4a specifically states that,
"Compression joints of the type using separate ferrules are not considered suitable for joints on hydraulic brak lines other than in the case of
a hose designed for a high pressure application that incorporates an inner support sleeve in the compression fitting"
Mark Allanson for example passed just fine with Euroquip connectors.
I for one will take my chances at SVA 'cause I'm damn sure I ain't going to re do the whole car unless I absolutely have to...
Cheers,
Craig.

Hi.
Being a fool, I've purchased the SVA Manual - it states as follows:
'Compression joints of the type using separate ferrules are not considered suitable for joints on hydraulic brake lines other than in the case
of a hose designed for a high pressure application that incorporates an inner support sleeve in the compression fitting'
I'd say that if you don't have inner support sleeves fitted, don't fill the brake fluid yet!
Could have saved a whole load of typing there too!
