Is it acceptable to join two pieces of copper brake line by screwing a male and female end together? I need to reroute a brake line which will then end short and don't want to take all the riveted p-clips off!!
I had a dodgy T piece, thought it was the flare and had to cut a piece in.
I bought a shunt (think thats what its called) from MAC#1.
Passed SVA and more importantly doesn't leak !
You need a one stage flare on one pipe and a two stage flare on the second. Peugeot use this system on the 205 models . Personally I prefer to use a proper joiner
Yes, that fine as long as the ends are appropriately flared. What's not fine is joining pipes by brazing etc, even if you sleeve.
Proper joints are not much money from Namrick or local spares shops £2 to do the job properly

Just phones a mate in VOSA, its the copper to copper joint that isn't acceptable - and he doesn't know why!!
VWP also sell the joiners.
