These have swaged ends not olives,they were reasonably easy to fit but as you can see from the pictures there is one bracket that they could not replicate for these yet.

Hutch, what material are the unions, stainless, aluminium or mild steel?

The reason ask is that the unions on the Black Diamond lines I have fitted are corroding quite severely and the protective plastic sheathing has cracked and is pulling out of the unions.

Needless to say I won't be buying another set :roll:

They are stainless ends as far as i know,goodridge are a very respected company and when the new rule comes out about modifying brake componants for the mot they will supply me with the required certificate.

No they can not be brought on ebay mate,i had them custom made by sending them to goodridge.I know fennies do supply a brake line kit but apart from that i don't of any companies that supply st205 kits with swayged ends.
