Thanks all sorted now couplings use large domed collet ,took to local pipe maker he charged 38 + vat didnt think that was too bad ?...........

Does anyone know how the pipes terminate at steering rack end (Mine need doing but dont want to undo nuts incase they break) does the pipe have a compression lump in line or does it use an olive or some other type of fixing....
