Fuel / brake lines
 

Hi

Just trying to plan ahead - what diameter fuel / brake pipes people using??

What thread size are sierra brakes? I've got no thread gauges.

Fuel line should be 8 or 10mm, i used micro bore central heating stuff from B&Q, ran 2 lines 1 for a return if needed or if i want to go fuel injected, would be worth using the much stronger injection rubber hose to connect the pipe work that way you are bulletproof for the future.
Brake lines are pretty standard at 3/8ths or equivalent.
Make sure your fittings are correct for the calipers.

snap, as above
micro bore heating pipe(£19.95 from B&Q ) with the high pressure tube for each end & 3/8ths brake pipe.

Hi Daz

Standard brake pipe should do the trick, 3/16 if memory serves me right.
Copper will do nicely or Kunifer if you want a more robust pipe.

The brake pipe fittings I believe are 10mm X 1 thread pitch

Any decent motor factor will have the pipe & fittings in stock :)

Mill Auto springs to mind ;)

Ronnie's spot on 10x1 mm gold in colour usually,beware of silver coloured one's they are UNF for old Mini's and things.

Cheers for the replies fella's

much appreciated.
