What colour are your brake pipes.  If they were supplied by Europa and 
are
black they are 6mm tube.  If they are supplied by Europa and clear 
(white)
they are =BC inch.  Brass poly flow fittings are designed for =BC inch 
tube.
They  will (just about) work with the black 6mm tube but can be blown of
with pressure or knocked of easily.  Europa changed over to the clear
(white) =BC tube when this was pointed out to them.  So if you are 
replacing
any tube make sure it is =BC inch.


As far as I know you cannot buy the olives on there own.  You can buy 
the
brass end fitting with the olive and sleeve in it from Aircraft Spruce 
part
No 261-UB-4  .  Have a look at the range, search for Brass Poly-flo
fittings.


Sorry but  I have no magic way of getting at your parking brake valve.  
I
assume you can just about access it from the inspection hatch behind the
fuel cock on the starboard side of the tunnel.
