wasn't aware of there being more than 1 size of brake pipe. you can get different metals though - copper of kunifer (copper nickel mix) and opinion is divided which is best.

iirc these are the nuts you want

:good: But you need more than 10 nuts if you are replacing all of them - I think you need 12 all in if you are retaining the factory pipe set up.

And the brake pipe is 3/16th as referred to in the above link.
