good work Alex.

I do have one of the original green o-rings, and it looks to be Imperial, as they are ever so slightly thinner profile than the metric.

I might put a vernier on them to check, but as I said, I tried both, and metric holds the fitting in tighter, imperial a bit looser

Its a bit concerning that the 2 jaws of that nylon clip is all that keeps the pipe in, they lock into the metal fitting, and are depressed by squeezing externally.

The ones on my trans were very brittle, and broke into pieces, so you would be knackered if you didnt have replacements..even worse if on the road, as it ejects your trans fluid.

I was told to just go down to an FI specialist, and mention my mates name (otherwise I would be told to fk off) and I could get them for nothing or very little

My mechanic mate also had 5/16 versions, seems like they are a standard item
