if i fit this into the rear flexy hose on my corsa b , do you think it will leak ?
as everyone knows, if its the copper pipe there, then it seals when u tight it up but what about this ? can someone try to imagine it ?

btw it is a an3 to m10x1.0 , should be the right fitting , right ?

its the right thread, do you know if it has a convex or concave seat? You will need to have a convex on the end of the hardline and the female on the rubber flexi is concave.

The fitting in your picture is for the hardline and it will have a copper olive to seal against the tube of the hardline itself.

the only issue I can see is this fitting will be fixed, where the original male fitting would be able to swivel. so you will have to screw the hose on and then screw the caliper onto the hose
