Hey all,
Does anyone have any idea which of these i need to order? i am redoing the Master cylinder - front right brake line to fit my WMS set up, as the driver's side is rusted riiiight on. Have the pipe and the flaring kit, but need a new union each end. I'm away from my car until next week, would have looked otherwise :)

Any help appreciated!

Pretty confident they're all m10x1, same as the top left.
cheers,

Anything longer than that, and the U shaped spring clips that hold the end of the flexibles in place won't be tensioned properly. Worth buying these clips new from BMW as well. They're usually well rusted, and are pence to replace.
