leaky hose....

where by front braided hose goes into the nut(think thats correct) I've got fluid coming back up around the hose, I've taken it apart and tried to tighten everything up however its still leaking.

I've not done anything with car brakes before but plenty with bike stuff so i'm slightly aware of what i'm doing.

whats the best way to make the hose ends off? where can I get another length of braided hose and the little olives?

Cheers again and sorry for all the questions!

can't help you with the answer, but I believe sva testers would not accept self assembly braided hoses, the manufactured ones are crimped, maybe if the pipe is long enough russ could fit another end for you.

why not if they're not leaking? I thought it was what most people did!? or where can I get the crimped hoses from?

The reason I've heard is that they could be interfered with, ie loosened. load of nutsack really as I made the pipes up on my bike and there alright.
Don't forget the sva guys are a law unto themselves what they want is what they get or no mac,
same as aftermarket steering wheels and bosses down south (londonish) seem to have an issue over colapsability I never had a problem,
russbost is the man you need but hang fire till someone else more knowledgable comes along
