Post a pic of the brake MC, that will tell if your metal lines are metric threaded gland nuts or not.

I have a vague recollection that all the RRC callipers have a metric thread for the brake hose at the lower end, but the upper end of the hoses can be metric or imperial because there is a difference in parts catalogues for metric or imperial brake hoses.

You need to get professional advice with this.

cheers, DL

The metric/imperial difference for the brakes is easiest to tell from the MC. They changed the mounting bolt orientation between the two so that they cannot be mixed up. The earlier imperial master cylinder has the bolts running vertical, the later metric MC has them horizontal. The changeover was in the early 80's but I suspect there was some bleed over between them based on supplier availability and the delay in shipping things to Australia.
