Don't know for certain, but I'd be surprised if they are imperial.

M10 X 1.00mm pitch EXCEPT the larger nuts to the valve bock on the ABS modulator which are M12. These rarely suffer corrosion, being under the bonnet and can safely be re-used. Brake pipe is 3/16" O.D. (Outside diameter) readly and cheapl available from the likes of good old Ebay>
