Securing brake lines at unions...
What is the SVA approved safe method of mounting brake lines where they join? (Im sure someone on here mentioned that they had failed due to their
mounts being wrong)
I currently have female ridig pipes and male flexi pipes. The male is pushed through a hole in the bracket and the female is then screwed over the
male... However this does not clamp the pipes firmly in the bracket...
And NO...im not planning to use tampons

you need a slim nut to secure the male bit to the bracket before connecting the female brake pipe nut to it.

You'll be wanting a bulkhead fitting, either in the flexihose like these mini ones:

Or Automec do a bulkhead fitting. HU106 which I think allows M10 1mm fittings either side, but there's no picture on their website I could
find

I had male bulkhead fittings - same as ordinary male ends, but with a longer threaded part. This fitting was secured with a slim M10 nut, leaving
sufficient thread for the female fitting that joined to it.
