Which holes on the cvh 1.8 master cylinder are for fronts and rear please?(thought I'd better check)
Also I need some half nuts to secure brake lines to brackets --what size and thread are they please?
While I'm here what size and threads are the lock nuts for the rear camber adjusters and the lock nuts for the escort steering rack . I've been rooting through boxes of old nuts and bolts for ages and turned up nothing that will fit any of these bits:mad: If anyone has any of these lying around spare I'll be eternally grateful.

Hi Adrian
For the master cylinder, normally, you have 2 out ports at the "front" of the M/C (when M/C is installed on the car) : one "low", and one "high", most of the time on the side, but close to each other : these are for front right and front left brakes. Then you have out port one at the "back" of the M/C, on the side normally, which is for the rear brakes (on for the 2 wheels as it will be split up by the tee piece in the rear frame).
I'm surprised your brake lines didn't come with the lock nuts for bulkhead fittings. Thread of bulkhead fittings to be fitted on the bracket is M10x1.00. which is not the thread you usually find in the store for 10mm diameter. Actually, the "standard" (if there would be one), which is called ISO, for 10mm diameter, is M10x1.50. M10x1.00 (one thread every 1 mm) is thinner than ISO M10x1.50 (one thread every 1.5mm).
Hope this help.
Good luck.
Sylvain
