Love to mate, but that won't work either.
Basically the certification needs to be done by an official Goodridge tester/retailer.
All the hoses technically need to be road legal here are these little yellow heat shrink tags on one end with a series of numbers and letters which the goodridge retailers here put on the hose kits they make.

They won't do this for me, all they can do is take my U.K set which I brought, replicate it with there fancy goodridge braided hose with clear plastic sleeving and numbering and charge me more than twice what I paid for my set
So what information do the yellow tags they put on their hoses have written on them?

Never heard of this before, i work for Goodridge too (dont get that involved with the flexible lines side of things though) I dont know if this its out of date or anything but i just had a quick look around and found this http://www.lvvta.org.nz/CertThreshol...eApril04V3.pdf In section 8 it says that stainless steel braided hoses dont need certification

I got to that info from this page http://www.ltsa.govt.nz/vehicle-ownership/warrant.html Hopefully i havent missunderstood what i was reading
