Hydraulic Pipe End Fitting

Must be a tubular seal there.
And the pipe end must be a straight cut - no flaring.
The pipe is double flared approx 10mm from the pipe end - such the union nut can grip on the pipe circumference.
Exactly as depicted on schematic above.
If you can slide the union nut over and away from the pipe - then the pipe is the wrong type.

Well done, Malcolm. You were a voice crying in the wilderness with nobody taking any notice.

Well -
I stand corrected [:I]
- had no idea the pipe into the regulator could be yet another type.

Both the output pipes on the two output pump on my Dad's 1994 2.0i SX Auto are the large flared type with no seals. We havn't had a reason to remove the other end of the pipes to see what type those ends use however...
