I have an MOT failure on corroded brake lines. I have purchased cupro-nickel pipe, and a bubble flare tool. Can somebody confirm what nuts I need. I guess they will be 10M x 1 short, but I am not sure. I don't want to open the system and then wait for the correct nuts to be delivered.

M10 short is correct. New spring clips that fit on the nuts to fix the ends of the pipes where they join the flexibles are a good idea as well.
