All I can determine is that the banjo bolt from brake hose to caliper is an M10 - but there's a few versions to choose from 1.0, 1.25, 1.50. I think it's M10 x 1.0, but don't want to trust the internet and order the wrong parts (again!)
As its not the sort of thing I can just 'pop out' and replace whenever I like (not without getting everything liberally coated with brake fluid, anyway) thought I might as well get a replacement now, while the caliper's off. For about the price of 1 x Vx one I can get 2 x stainless steel ones, that'll never need replacing again, plus the crush washers.
Thanks all in advance :)

I've never bought a 10mm brake fitting that wasn't 1mm pitch.
Generally, you only have to indicate if it's metric(M10x1) or imperial(3/8x24 - I think!) and those dimensions are very similar.
This doesn't apply to American stuff, as they have their own 'standard' sizes

Cheers. Still a bit 'new' to threads if that doesn't sound too silly of me. Just because on the bay of e there's a bewildering range of everything to choose from. M10 x 1 is good enough for me, then. Just given that the new bolts are about a fiver, plus 99p for each crush washer ( :o) a pair of HEL stainless ones including crush washers for the same price seems the way to go :)

Get yourself a cheap digital caliper and a thread gauge. Shouldn't cost more than a tenner, and then you'll be able to measure what you have rather than guess. I suspect that the tyre valves are the only non-metric threads you'll find on an Omega.
The caliper will come in handy for all sorts of other car related stuff.

It's on the shopping list, Nick, thanks :y

If the caliper is off, why the issue with pulling the existing banjo and taking it to the factors/nuts and bolts place :-\
-
No issue at all, but the factors that do the stainless ones are internet-based, that's all. :)

For future reference the fronts are M10 x 1.5 :y
