Escort rear axle & Cortina front hubs - brake union threads??

Hi

Anyone know please what the standard brake pipe union threads are for the rear drum brakes on a Ford Escort Mk2 axle and for Ford Cortina MkIV/V front brake calipers please?

I am used to BMC/BLMC/BL stuff that is all imperial - are some 1970s/1980s Fords metric and some imperial or even a mix of both?

Cheers
Mike

Callipers are M10, standard metric for sure , I believe the rears are the same.

Excellent, many thanks - I will have to join the Metric world! Got some brake fittings on an old Automec brake line kit for a Peugeot 205 that might provide some useful bits along with the tubing.
