Is it legal to replace all your copper brake pipes with braided lines with compression fitting?

Im thinking about getting the pipe and the ends and making some up as I need to replace most of the line on the car as whoever replaced them last made a right mess of them!

Cheers for any help.

yea its legal, they need to be swaged on you cant make them up yourself tho like the goodridge fittings you can use otherwise they wont (or shouldnt) pass an MOT.

i was looking into replacing some steel lines some time ago.

i sent an email to Braided-Hose-Solutions on ebay .they replied they can custom supply lines, i didnt bother in the end.

where does it say in MoT regs that you cant use these hoses?? I cant see anything written obviously in the testers book.

It doesnt say you cant use braided hose, you can.

Im TOLD from an MOT tester that the fittings now need to be swaged on to pass.

where it states it I dont know but the guy races legend cars so not your typical MOT tester I'd say.
