Brake line fittings

Hi all,

I am about to start the routing and sorting of my brake pipes and am trying to find out what size unions/fittings I need. I have got a westfield master cylinder and am using the standard ford sierra calipers and drums and have a roll of the standard copper pipe from CBS.

Does anyone know the size and thread I need for these fittings to join the pipes to the master cylinder and then to the calipers (via flexi pipes)??

Apologies if this is a bit vague and rambling.........

Thanks

Chris

the fitting on the later sierras are M10. I would change the brake pipe to cupro nikle as the copper will work harden and can crack.
