Ok so I've had the brakes rebuilt and I'm putting it all back together but the lines from the dual line master cylinder to the valve thingy are a pain in the arse.

I have ordered both lines from two different online Australian mini stores and both times the ones that they sent are wrong. It appears that the brake line ends that go into the valve thingy are metric?

Is that correct?

EDIT October 1978.
