i have the first gen and no experience with third gen but there are only a few common brake line sizes. I am pretty sure it will be 1/4".

cheers mate(s) when i finally got the pipe off and took it into my local motor factors it was indeed 1/4",
had to re-use the master cylinder connector as they did'nt have one that big but it was servicable and the rear end connector was of a smaller size and they had that in stock,all in all it only cost £8.00 which i thought was very reasonable as it was over 12 foot long,so thanks for your help :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
