I thought they were 3/8”UNF, but that’s smaller than 10mm.
Which fitting is it? Wheel cylinder or master?

Usually 3/8” UNF.
90/110 should be metric though, unless someone’s changed stuff about or put an early Disco/RRC axle on.

if your calipers are imperial brake pipe fittings they would be earlier numbers than those i gave you

In that case most 3/8” UNF fittings will take a 7/16” AF spanner.

Or maybe 9/16”. Been a while since I had imperial brake lines on mine.
so they could be metric? I'm off to get some bits and figured for a few pence I might as well get some fittings in case the old ones on the pipe give me any problems.

3/8 bolt is 9/16 head, pipe fitting is 7/16
Its the new calipers that I was unsure of, they are metric though, just been down to Off Road Rovers and picked up the pads and fitting kit, got a couple of pipe nuts as well.
