I was once told MK3 cortina front brake pipes were pretty long,anyhow thats somthing else.
The guy i spoke too at the SVA centre said there are some threaded ends that are inverted so they need something to seal against(olives),i've
got to admit i was a bit confused as he opened another can of worms.
He did though say "are they the goodridge ones" to which i replied yes,he seemed happy with them so i'll use the ones i've
fitted.

As far as the SVA rules go to the letter they CANNOT fail you for using the Rally Design fittings with olives, because the rule says olive fittings
are ok as long as there is a tube support in the bore. Buy a spare fitting from Raldes (I make up my own pipes anyway and haven't had a failure
yet (in rallies too!!)) the raldes fittings do have a bore tube support, cos it's a bu**er to get into the teflon inner sometimes!!

yes, I obviously havn't tried to get through the test yet! but the SVA manual specifically states that "ferrule" type fittings are
ok if the type with an inner support tube, which the fittings in the picture do have! Best to spend £3 on a spare fitting of the same type to show the
tester i would think.
