Hi all, getting some custom brake hoses made for my mk1 fiesta caliper conversion and was under the impression that the subframe fitting was 3/8 unf on all minis but the guy whose making the hoses says all new build cars were changed to metric in the mid 80s so: does my 91 city have a 3/8 unf subframe thread or a metric thread?
Need to know quick so I can get the hoses made, cheers for any help.
Metric Or Imperial?

All new "design" but not necessarily new build, definately NOT Classic Mni as most are still Imperial, upgraded master cylinders etc were metricated though.
The subframe "bulkhead" fitting is a dedicated Mini item still available in various materials, steel with zinc plating or stainless steel
