Diameter of front to rear brake line?

Does anyone know the outside diameter of the front to rear brake line please? Van is a 1992 4 wheel ABS.

Hi Mr Singh.
Sorry for the late reply.
I'm still constructing mine, so no kits I'm afraid and after this one, I've had enough!

Nice to be back after a loong xmas and start of new year!! What have I been doing to the van? Well, been busy, and spending a lot of time outside in sub zero conditions. First the head unit has always been badly fitted and stuck out too far. So, the rear defroster vent has been modified so the unit ...

My van has the kit for the composite spring fitted, which is different to the one that we fitted to joeastromatt's van. So I dont think the kit i...
