Hi all, do these braided flexi brake pipes need any sort of covering for the iva. Rescued attachment IMG_2525.jpg

I took the approach of 'if I make it safe, then it definately can't fail'.

I used some plastic spiral wrap and some plastic not covers with the ends chopped off at each end. Worked for me.

I used clear fish tank tubing which i slit along its length. Passed no problem.

doesn't the caliper end catch the bottom of the coilover at full right lock? - Looks close, but it may just be the angle of the photo?

Mine passed SVA without any covering on them, but i don't know if the ruling for IVA is any different. Yours look fine to me, but as it has been suggested, they look as though they could catch on the wishbones on full lock.

Thanks for the replies,
No the caliper clears the coilover , must be the camera angle
