Re: Brake Pipes (layout/connections)

As mine is the later model, are the brake pipe connectors metric or imperial? Answering my own question here. They are 10mm metric pipe nuts on the master cylinder. 3/8" fit but aren't tight in the cylinder threads :? And thanks to DaveVVC who is posting off two rear restrictor valves to me today!!...

Brake Pipes (layout/connections)

Anyone have a diagram of how the brake pipes fit to a Metro/Rover with the black tag master cylinder vertically mounted to a servo? Single connection to the calipers, not twin hoses/4-pots.

TIA!
