Freelander brake pipe unions - what thread?

Bit of a long shot but maybe the power of LB can find me the answer????

Got to replace the front to rear brake pipes (going cut in the middle of car and just run new pipe to rear as this where the corrosion is) and the short pieces between the hose and the rear hub. But what size threads are they????

I don't know the vehicle, but I would be very surprised if they weren't M10x1 - that's pretty much standard these days.

i had some pipes made up for another one i did about a year ago, and the fittings put on weren't right and ended up cutting them off, buying my own flaring tool and doing it myself reusing the old unions, but the ones on this are are buggered

Best to use a proper joiner to join the pipes -- don't just put a male fitting into a female.

Must admit I don't like doing it that way BUT Peugeot have been doing it for years on factory fitted pipes.
