Hi,
I am changing all metal brake and fuel pipes quite soon (fuel tank out as its easier so I'm told)

So I can start getting parts together;

What unions would I need for all the fuel and brake joins.?

Can the 3/16 kunifer brake pipe be used for fuel lines too?

I have found a good supplier of pipe and flaring tool (not the cheap puller type)

And are the brake spring clips single use items ?

Car is 1991 with rear discs and no ABS set up.

Thanks, yeah that's the tool I've got on watch!

I meant can the brake pipe kunifer be used for the petrol tank hard lines as well.

Just a bit unsure of what unions I need now, flexi pipes do look past their best so good shout!
