Mark it was ordered this afternoon, and they said it would be put in the post today. So hopefully should be here tomorrow. I'll post a picture
when I get it.
I just hope its right, I just decided to put them on the car and bleed the brakes at the weekend.

Northy,
Looking at the Avon bodywork, I am guessing you have M16's on Cortina uprights? Are you using the pre-pipe from the caliper or plumbing the
flexie straight in? Did you order RD1402's? Is Glen millar still missing?

Yeah, M16 calipers. Flexie straight in unless it fails SVA. They made them specially for me, I just told them the lengths I wanted (need 2 for rear
for IRS).
HTF is Glen Millar?

I still want to use the pre-pipe as it is on the pivot point and 'should' make the flexies less prone to fowling anything. I hope the ends
are the same on yours as the vehicle sets they supply

Ah yes, another reason why I would have used the pre pipe bits. But I've put them straight in, and checked lock to lock and they don't
touch anywhere.
Have you got last years catalogue? Thats the only one I've got. I "think" I've ordered RD1501. The ends on my pipes look the
same as the ones pictured for the brake line kits. Perhaps they make them up? This is on page 35 of my catalogue (in the CCC mag).
PS, who's Glen Millar??????

I am looking on the website, which is mainly blurry scans of the catalogue, all the kits seem to be RD14**, but I may be looking in the wrong
place.
Glen Millar was the first of a long and distinguished line of musicians who specialised in short careers in rapid decents in aeroplanes

You need to look for the re-useable Euroquip 600 hose fittings.
You've lost me totally with tthe whole Glen Millar thing. Explain?

Glen Millar, the band leader, took his private plane out for a jolly into the english channel in about 1942 (real sensible move on his part!)
He never came back (now there is a surprise!), this shook the nation, and everyone was asking 'Is Glen Millar still missing?'
I asked about 4 questions in quick succession, and added the catchphrase to lighten the brevity!

No mystery Miller was in an aircraft that took a short cut across an area of the english channel used as a bomb dumping ground. The Stinson he was
flying in got hit by a bomb jettisoned by a british bomber aircraft flying at higher altitude. The british aircraft had been on a mission canceled
because of bad weather.

No worries Mark,
Are you ordering a spare end? They're £2.40 each plus VAT. Or do you want to borrow mine?

Mark, the part number is: RD1501, but the treaded part is not as long as the ones on my brake pipes, but hopefully the SVA inspector will see sense
and see they are the same design fittings........
