My hoses have the AS stamp on them and were made in Canberra about two years ago!

I have braided brake hoses on mutant that came from UK - supposedly not legal as they have no AS or whaterver the stamps needs to be.

The ones I spoke about earlier in this subject from Maltech have the stamp on them and are legal! I saw them and have their brochure.

Really? Maybe these Maltec hoses are worth looking into

Back to your original question re engineers certificates. i quote myself from the JAM rethink thread

http://www.tziworld.com/ausmini/viewtopic.php?t=4636&start=45

Read up on it 68Delux, and you will see that as long as you keep all the specs of other stuff like brakes the same as was available from the factory, you can put in any engine that was an option for the car. and you don't need an engineers certificate

It was a pleasure ausmini. I'll miss all you misfits and reprobates

re braided hoses,
one of the problems in UK and US was, people were running braided hose all the way from MC to brakes, to replace all the hard steel brake lines. This gave real spongy brakes as there is much more `give' in hoses than in steel lines when you jump on the pedal.
This migtht be why some of the authorities are paranoid about braided lines.
