I'm after a ser myself as they look like really useful things. How about this set?: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OPEN-FLARE-N ... SwpINZX6h1
I know for a fact that I'll need new brake bleeding nipples for my rear callipers next time I bleed them as I nearly rounded them off tightening them up last time with a normal spanner! In hindsight I should have used a socket at least.

At least you know what you don't know now.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Re: Brake pipe nut sizes
OK something weird happened.
I posted a reply to this, yesterday, but it hasn't appeared.
Short answer to the original question is the nuts will most likely be M10 fine thread and require a 10mm, or 11mm spanner, which should be a "flare nut", or "brake pipe" spanner, not a normal open end.
No idea why my original reply didn't work...
