   How big are these and where can I buy them new? Its the ones that run from the car itself into the distribution block on the rear beam to provide each side with fluid. 11 mm heads on them

   Should be two sizes
   the smaller is a 10x1 fitting and the larger is a 12x1 fitting.
   Any car spares place can supply them you will also need a pipe flare tool to put them on to the pipe

   You dont do them do you mate? Got the flare tool here so I can do them but just need new ones - the ones on both beams were so badly corroded and stuck in I've going to have to drill them out I think. Whats their technical/proper name?

   Take that one you have there with you, any decent parts place will sell them.
   They are 10x1 male brake pipe unions

   Cheers mate, just gotta get one buggered one out now. If only pug/citroen had spent about 50p extra on a cover for the lines/bolts then i wouldnt be having this problem.
