Got some of these of Jeebyman (cheers) and just wondered if anyone whos had SVA had anything mentioned about them as they're braided and compression type. Not had time to check the internal collar but will take photos before fitting them to cover my arse.

The hoses are made with euroquip bits that you can buy from rally design. They have internal support tubes and should meet the spec as required by SVA. I have the same hoses on my car, and am sure other GTS builders do too.

As flak monkey said, they are euroquip parts with the internal support tubes and as such are SVA friendly (Or can be proved to be) if asked by the SVA guy. One thing to remember though is although you get 3 in the brake kit, chances are you will need 5 as the rear calipers will be floating.

I've ran the pipe rigid to the rear calipers for now. I can't see me replacing the rear pads very often and as long as it gets through an SVA it can always be changed afterwards eh.
Edit to say do we think its worth taking a picture of the internal tubes in case SVA man asks or do you think he still won't believe me?

Ah,yeah good point.Bugger, where can I get two very short pieces then?

If you want to make them yourself you can get the bits from here..

Rally design euroquip brakes

I am not too sure where you get can 2 ready made ones from thought that will do the job?

I'm just concerned that the do it myself ones won't pass SVA. Mind,if they've the internal collar then I suppose they should be fine.

I had to make some up from euroquip parts the other week and I also had some concerns. However, the car passed it's SVA just over a week ago and no questions were asked about the brake lines.

I did a fair bit of trawling the web for information regarding the safety / legality of euroquip hoses and the concensus is that they are safe and legal. Even after making them up myself I feel safe using them as they are a good sturdy design.

FYI - if the braided hoses are metal braided and exposed they will not pass SVA. They must be covered in some way as they are potentially sharp (exposed weave). We initially used some plastic coil wrap but then we replaced them with clear shrink wrap, this keeps them clean, smooth and protected.

Just my 2p
