i have started to build up the brake pipe system on the rolling chassis and i dont think the way i have my flexi pipe joining the solid pipe on the front axle swivel housing is correct, could anyone shed some light on it?

it should not be this slack should i be using a nut to fix the flexi pipe to the mount then just tighten the solid pipe up on the thread?

Britpart flexis don't come with a nut which I found quite annoying one Sunday morn.
