The Lotus Grand Tourers

Hi - away at the moment but need to order some crowfoot spanners for delivery this weekend so I can replace brake pipes. Does anyone know what size the flare nuts are on the Excel brake lines? I’ve found a couple of sets but they don’t contain all metric mm sizes and it would be just my luck to order a set with the missing size being the needed !!

Any help gratefully received! Duncs

My 87 model year are 11mm

Thanks for the info!

and 14mm for the connection to the brakehoses

The pipe nuts on my car are 13mm.
Seconding Stu's comment that the male threaded part is 11mm.

Sorry for not being fully descriptive

Thanks all - it looks like the set I ordered will cover all these.
