Hi David, looking good ! . and superb deals on the parts - the coopers are excellent !Right. For reference flare spanners seem to come in 9/11mm and 10/12mm. This one pipe requires 10 and 11mm, meaning that 15cm of pipe requires you to buy two spanners.
All sorted. New cylinders on, brakes rebuilt and drums on.
Fitted 4x wheels with Cooper Discoverer AT (barely worn) which I got from my local scrappy. Got wheels + tyres (x5) for less then the price of 2 tyres.
Lights all fixed too, so should be MOT-able soon
Other back brake to rebuild but will be a lot easier now with tools + knowledge.
Tailgate handle to sort + drivers internal door handle and then we'll see. Have her out of the garage and spin her round tomorrow. Can't wait!
Flare nut spanners come in all sizes... 10 and 11 no problems - http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=flare+nut+spanner+10+11&_sop=15
For everything on the freeby including brake MCs,, ABS unit, wheel cylinders / calipers etc these will do great -

BGS are good tools as well !.
