I used the M10 x 1.0 unions and (3/16)'' copper pipe on my car. Rallydesign have all the bits.

thanks buddy, most motor factors stock the bits at a lot cheaper than Rallydesign so will try there first

no worries, in the end i managed to use the existing pipe which i broke in the caliper and then flared that and crushed it into place.
the rear nipples are siezed in place but dont really need bleeding. i know this isnt exactly the best situation but now that i have driven and bed the brakes in again it all seems to work ok so think i managed to get away with a bit of luck with that one
