Ok...so ive got your attention

Ive ripped out nearly all my brake pipes and replacing all with kuprinol...ok its not stainless but if its good enuf for aston martin then l reckon its good enough and lot easier to thread through from the brake manifold behind the drivers seat (and what s pig that is to work on)

so then l bought a load of imperial fittings thinking....its an american car right....obviously not metric....wrong!

So l know l have to get metric 10mm (3/8) and 12mm (7/16) in lengths for (and l will never get this) 3/16" and 1/4" brake pipe

Q...what is thread pitch (lm not with car and need to order by post)

1mm l think but cant be certain....and knowing my luck if l dont ask l will end up getting wrong thing

Thanks in advance

Dave

your only choices in that style are 1 and 1.5 mm and it sounds like you guessed correctly!! Best of luck!
