As Paul says.

Just be careful with the unions, as the metric alternative is 10x1 which is very very close to 3/8 UNF, and will screw into each other, but is a sloppy fit, and won't seal properly.

Tom is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo right.^^^

Fucked up a brand new flexi cos I thought the union was just tight and kept tightening it.Went to bleed the thing and hydraulic spurted up so high it hit the ceiling.*happy*

cheers chaaps gonna try to get some pipe & unions, i think a place near me sell the stuff in those sizes, hopefully get the brake line in the car with some stainless p-clips, then the underside is clear of pipework *tongue* i'm popping in 2moro to try to sort the right sizes

just need to think over the internal gearlinkage idea hmmmmmmmmmmm?
