what size for brake lines???

any body know what size the brake line should be i know that there is a mixture of metric and imperial fittings but the pipe is all the same size!!

3/16 pipe metric thread on fittings

not to be cheeky but how about the rear cylinder fittings are they not imperial?

Be careful as the 3/8 and 10mm fitting threads are nearly the same but not the same enough if you see what i mean.
The fitting are cheap so maybe worth buying a couple of imperial ones as well.
Use the kunifer pipe as it bends really nice and easy for fitting purposes, plus of course doesnt rust.
Try a google seems mid 80s was change over, but some are mix and match ie imperial unions and metric hoses!

:crazy_driver:think mine could be one of those, its an 82 with dual circuit brakes and servo so has twin leading shoes on the front and the bigger cylinders on the back.. :baby:

Re-use the original fittings if they aint rusted too badly, then there would be no doubt.

i was thinking of later vehicles definately check fittings they can be mixed still 3/16 pipe

There's a good section on identifying metric and imperial fittings in the handbook - the pipe's the same.

ok thanks guys, i think some one has already had a play so could be all sorts on there, my aim was to get a flaring kit and some pipe and fittings and piece together a jigsaw.
