1/4

Cheers JM,

lightning response! respect to you sir!

Going to knock up new metal pipework, would you recommend Kunifer or steel?
Want to slip in a braided flexi if i can find one not sure of ID on a1/4 metal but wonder if a standard SS braided brake pipe would suffice?

Assuming DIN M12 make n female?

Do they still supply 1/4" bore pipe nowadays?
I thought that everything had gone over to the sillymetric, and it was now the OD that was measured, making it 8mm for clutch and the old 3/16 is now 6mm for the brakes, whilst leaving the fittings as they were originally just to confuse evrything!
Please @jamesmartin correct me if (and I hope...) I'm wrong.

yes just as most brake pipes were still 3/16 certainly on 2003,metric equivalent is 6mm for 1/4 and 4.5mm for 3/16 or at least it is in any brake flaring kit ive seen

so din male n female 12mm not required for 1/4
I can just use the 10mm fittings with a 1/4 pipe?

So I am trying to knock up my own flexi & metal clutch pipes (and why not?!)

I get the 1/4 pipe for the metal its the fitting size (not type) I am a bit confused about.

FLEXI appears to have a bulkhead female to a bulkhead male.

METAL from Flexi to Slave appear to be straight up short male's with single din flares.

Are the fittings size the same as the caliper brake lines 10mm x 1mm fine pitch male brake pipe union with shoulder, but using 1/4 instead of 3/16 pipe?

I bought a pre made one from Bearmack, 3 quid something, saved me a lot of faffing around but it was fiddly getting it in there.

fittings are obviously 1/4 fittings im not sure about td5 but earlier fittings were imperial,td5 may well be metric or not ive only made the earlier ones up

Just to be sure of the fit I usually use the ends cut off from the original piece of pipe
