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.

Huge weekend. Moved the project to a mates place (legend has a hoist) and spend a full day installing the Disco 1 front axle assembly, reusing the struts and springs that were already inplace along with the rod panhard rod, tie rod and the drag link. Actually pleased with how straight forward this was; a little Land Rover LEGO?! Don't want to speak too soon and put a moz on this project. Having fun.

If anyone is keen, I will offer the old front and rear axle assemblies for sale; not sure what a reasonable asking price for these should be, any advice here would be appreicated. I was thinking $750 each? They actually have new brake assemblies and at the least the rear one has been gone through, but the front is questionable. I will pressure wash the old front axle and see how it looks.
