Hmm... In Sweden how do you construct the 'flexi-pipe' that attaches the caliper to the copper/kunifer brake line mounted on the chassis? Are non-olive fittings available for flexible pipe too? I thought those only worked with flared end 'hard' pipe?

edit: I had a quick look on Locost Builders - apparently reuseable fittings were SVA OK, so assume they pass IVA - certainly people over here seem to be making their own flexi-brake lines using olives etc. Although a motorcycle example - some good pics of someone constructing one here: http://www.oldbritts.com/brake_line.html
