I know the solid bunndy pipe is 3/16" for clios, but i'm at a loss working out the right size braided hose.

Rally design do #3 and #4 which suit 3/8" and 7/16" fittings, thats europuiq hose

Local place to me do a whole range of sizes from 1/8" ID to 5/16" ID, including 3/16" which is same as the bundy pipe, how ever this is about 3 times the price of the euroquip stuff, and is goodridge.

Also what thread are the male and femal connectors that the std clio brakling system uses, am i right in thinking they are M10?, or are they UNF, BSF or BSP or any other bullshit lol......never heard so many different terms for something as i have thread sizes

hi mate standard fittings are 10mm metric. not m10.

thats the equivalent of 3/8 or 11/16 unf. 10mm in between.

so i can get 10mm metric fittings or 11/16 UNF or 3/8"?

Sorry for being really thick, but just don't understand how different threads are numbered up so to speak

yes all the fittings fit on 3/16 pipe but the larger 7/16 fitting i reakon is better as it nearly 11mm and you can get better torque on it.

but its easier to keep it all to 10mm. thats what i have thought on the maxi but in brass so they don,t rust up.
