Then it’s just wet Meccano. Cut the original pipe neatly to engage about 20mm each end of the brass, and clean it to nice and smooth with scotchbrite. Put on the nuts, then the olives. Start with your fingers, making sure the brass piece stays centred. Hold the threaded “patch tube” with multis or vise-grips while you firm up the olive nuts.
Mate thank you.

Extremely informative.

I can't do any of that.......literally no idea.
