The majority of the threads are M10 x 1.0 pitch, u will notice one connection on the master cylinder is larger, and sorry i don't know its size

I believe that the larger one on the master cylinder is an M12 thread, the ford part no is 6758609. There are also two M12 thread female connectors that go onto the rubber abs hoses (if your still running that) they're part no 6145094

hope this helps
