Yesterday I had that dreaded situation, foot down on the brakes, a moment of resistance then the pedal flops straight to the floor and all braking goes 
. After stopping I found a drip and a puddle of brake fluid under the car and some more investigation found that a short section of brake pipe under the nearside battery tray was rotten through (strange when the rest of all the lines look absolutely spotless and new).
Anyway it appears I need to invest in a brake pipe flaring tool, a pipe cutter, some pipe and some fixings. There appears to be many different sizes of brake pipe available so my question is as the title really, does anyone know which size the 80 has as standard?
Thanks in advance for any help.
