Brake hose fitting thread to Ford clutch slave

Does anybody know what thread the fittings are on a Ford clutch slave cylinder?
I want to get some hoses made.

Any modern car will be m10 x 1.0 with very few exceptions

Thanks.
They can't both be 10mm though as one is smaller than the other

Sorry, you mentioned hoses, only one is a hose fitting, the m10 x 1.0 one the other is for a bleed nipple & is either m7 or m8, can't tell from the pic as they are very similar though I think it's m8, if you're looking to take a hose off from the smaller one to bleed outside the bellhousing if it's m8 you can do it with a m8 banjo fitting, but you'll need to find a suitable bolt. Our m8 banjo bolts are m10 x 1.0 (fit pitbikes etc.) the bleed nipple thread if it's m8 will be m8 x 1.25, banjo bolts are available in that size. If it's m7 then it's time for a rethink or some drilling/retapping!
