I’m replacing all the rigid brake lines on my car as the original steel lines are getting corroded. I need to work out if my car has metric or imperial calipers. The workshop manual says later 2000s and 2200s may have metric calipers. The 2200 parts book only gives one part number for each of the front calipers, and one part number for each of the short rigid pipes between the upright and caliper.
Comparing what’s come off with the workshop manual, the female end of the pipe looks imperial, and the male end looks metric. Does this sound right, the rigid pipe was an adapter? My car is 1976, so a fairly late build. Are there any identifying marks on the calipers themselves?
