i bought the bits to make mine up from rally design. contact russbost on here, he'll be able to make you some up

Rally Design also make swaged hoses.
If you have to go to SVA these will pass.

Perhaps someone else knows if the screwed version will meet SVA requirements.

I have a couple of flexis which are perfect for the rear i just dont know weather they are SVA safe as i dont know what SVA unsafe is

i made a post like this a few weeks ago. the general answer was the screw together types do pass SVA, but its very much dependent on the tester. I started buying euroquip reusable fittings, but will get some swaged ones made instead

To be sure of a pass they need to be swaged - if they are of the type which has bare braid on the outside that will need to be covered.
