Standard 3/16" pipe and metric fittings.

 

Best way to stop the fluid is to use a flexible hose clamp on the back, and cling film under the brake fluid reservoir cap to prevent it running out at the front - this blocks the vent and creates a vacuum in the vessel. Don't forget that you'll need to bleed the air from the brakes afterwards.

 

It's not too difficult, and will definitely cost a lot less than
