Default Another brake question

Hi all
Need to run new brake lines throughout as i'm ditching the ABS, rear load valves etc & fitting a bias valve.
Can anyone tell me what size brake pipe do I need ??
What size/thread etc fittings are standard ??
Presume I can re-use the standard T pieces on the inner wings to split the circuits ??

Also is it okay to have the bias valve inside the car, as remember reading that it may be an issue with MOT etc ??
Any help appreciated

If you are ditching the ABS and running a bias valve you need to pipe up the system like this....



You will also need to remove the load apportioning valves on the rear suspension.

Cheers mate, exactly the way I was gonna pipe it, thing i need to know is can you fit the bias valve inside (sure I read that all brake pipes must run outside the cabin) or is that bulls**t ???

Presume the pipe is metric but which size???

Presume I can reuse the fittings too??
