Brake line thread pitch for FD3s.
Im deleting my ABS for a track purposed FD and i would like to replace the original hardlines with steel braided lines coming from the MC to the brakes to clean things up a bit. Does anyone know off the top what the thread pitch on the front calipers is and on the MC is?

Front calipers are 10x1, not sure on the m/c. There is one car over here running braid from m/c, abs pump to calipers, he doesn't report any additional sponginess in the system, but looks stupid to my eyes and would have Carrol Smith rolling in his grave! Stainless hardline if you want bling might be an option too??

reason 2: durability, the rubber inside braided lines degrades over time but you can't tell because of the braided covering
reason 3: flexibility: you can make a much tighter radius bend without kinking with a hard line
reason 4: looks: cleanly done polished hardlines will look loads better than braided lines snaking all over the enginebay.
you may also have some decrease in pedal feel as the lines aren't as rigid as a hardline, but i won't make that came for a reason as i do not know for sure.
