Brake Fluid hose size

#1 Post by zoidberg » Tue Sep 24, 2013 7:07 am

anyone know the sizes of the hose od from the reservoir to the brake/clutch master cylinders?

I want to replace the clips.

Mine are looking ropey and want to replace them?

thanks.

It's the ID you need, not the OD. I think they will be 6mm but it's worth taking one off to measure them.

Whatever you do, don't use the yellow seethrough tygon chemical resistant hose as it's not resistant to brake fluid and wheeps (looks nice though)

No, sorry, i forgot to say the clips are looking ropey not the hoses.

Demon tweeks do them for £0.72 each, or you can buy it with hose

Ok, I finally have some clips and will replace the hoses too. Any idea on the ID of the hose? Is it 6mm?
