Something i am finding with cars is, most of the after market is for motorcycles, ie: the huge 1/12 Tamiya motorcycle range and these parts are sold as 1/12. fair enough but stuff for cars is much bigger so for example banjo bolts and bleed nipples on a car are usually M10 or M12...but on a bike they are nearly always M6
So what i am getting at is 1/12 motorcycle parts are half the size of 1/12 car parts but they are all sold as just 1/12 in the genre
You see it especially with bolts which are sold as 1/12 be them 1mm or 10mm
Anyway these are the rear calipers, i doubt they will be seen but this as i said is a practice run for the Meng Maclaren where they will be seen.
The banjo bolts and bleed nipples here are 0.5mm
