I'm getting to the point of reconnecting the fuel and brake systems on my S1, and I want to replace all the flexible pipes. I also need to replace the clutch pipe as I had to cut it at the master cylinder end to disconnect it.

Is there such a thing as a list of the various pipe end fittings, along the lines of the bolts list? The Alternative Parts List only gives the lower front brake hoses and a few bits of the fuel system.

The brake pipes are done - I couldn't find exact equivalents but after hours trawling through parts catalogues (everyone needs a hobby wink ) I found close equivalents with the right fittings and a few mm longer than the originals. I'll post details to the Alternative Parts List in due course.

Can anyone help with this next bit? I want to replace the fuel hoses but can't find this type of connector for the accumulator anywhere. The connector has a female thread but everywhere I've looked seems to have male connectors only. Does anyone know what the proper name is for this type?
