For fuel pipe in the transmission tunnel I used 8mm microbore copper pipe from b&q.

Brake pipe is either 3/16" copper or kunifer from your local motorfactors.
The fittings if using the sierra brakes are all M10 thread. Motorfactors would also be able to supply these.

You will need a brake pipe flaring tool kit to do the ends of the pipes. Mine also had formers big enough to flare the end of the fuel pipe, but you could solder an ordinary plumbers olive on to form a lip for the rubber pipe to push over.

To secure both the brake pipes and fuel pipe I bought some plastic 'P' clips from RS components. 8mm for fuel pipe, 5mm for brake pipes.

Hope this helps.
