Most are m10x1

You will find a couple of m12 though on things like the compensator

Just had a quick look and my M10 die won't go on and M12 seems way too big... My pipe that runs from rear compensator / flexi to the rear calliper has seized and snapped on removal, trying to order some ends and it seems everywhere says they are M10 but as I say the die won't go near it???????

M10 x 1mm, not M10 standard (which is 1.5mm).

Put an M10 die down it and you'll ruin the thread.
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.
Top engine mount repair/reinforcement/chocking for cracked chassis and high powered cars, drive in, drive out, 2 hour turnaround.

Yeah I know, but was just seeing if I could catch the thread to see if it was M10 fine of not..... I'll have to take a gamble and order them in M10, thanks for that
