Default What size fuel and brake lines ?

What size fuel and brake lines should I be using as that is the next thing I need to buy.

Brakes - is it 3/8 copper pipe ?
fuel - 10mm od microbore heating pipe? (thats all ive managed to see by doing a search)

Also where have you mounted your fuel pumps? (which side of the chassis or doesn't it matter?)

lol, I knew it was 3 something.

Planning on using the original carb on the pinto.

Is that id or od? Would heating pipe be right or do you need something designed for fuel?

OD and copper is ok for fuel.

The 8 or 10mm OD fits the inside of the pipe used.

If that makes sense.
