Brake pipe threads

Going to make up some new braided flexi's, pretty sure I bought metric calipers a while back but guessing the rear wheel cylinders will be imperial, 3/8" unf?

When you make the short piece of kunifer pipe between the flexible on the caliper you just use a metric male to screw into the caliper. Or are you fitting disc brakes at the rear

Planning on running the flexibles directly into the calipers, got everything sorted and (think) I know what I'm doing at the front just wanted to be sure rear wheel cylinders are imperial thread before ordering fittings.
Being of BL origin I thought it was a pretty safe bet they would be, I think they finally went metric about a week before they went bust...

And, no, I'm not fitting disc's at the rear, if I was the wheel cylinder thread wouldn't be of any significance!
