Brake pipes

Hi all,

The last MOT had an advisory for a rusty rear brake pipe. I plan to replace using Cunifer pipe, so before I get it jacked up does anybody know if the brake pipe connectors are metric or imperial and the size?
I will try and remember to take some photos as I go. I also have the 2 rear shocks to replace as well.

I will also take the opportunity to replace the brake fluid as I suspect this is original as well! DOT 4 is the recommended I believe.

Cheers
Garry

before you do , quite a few of the replacement parts are still available from jaguar and reasonable prices

i recently had to change a rear brake feed pipe at the front of the car for a fellow member on his 2004 XK8 , and it was only £17 i think for the pre formed correct pipe,

all fittings will be metric , and yes, Dot 4 fluid will be fine
