cheekymonkey Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Found a great post on here about what diameter hoses to use: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=116326 However does any one know what lengths to get to re-do the hoses on 1 car? I'll then double it to get some spare for my car Also does anyone have the o/d to hand? I want to do this properly with quality black hosing, not oversized stuff from halfords etc!

cheekymonkey Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 *bump* Went to my motor factors today and couldn't find any vac hose at all! They have fuel hose on a reel but that's it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I used some fuel hose when I needed to replace some split piping, it had a reinforced lining and was the same diameter - and its worked fine since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 The fuel hose they had looked a lot thicker than I needed. The internal diameter I think was ok but it's not really flexible enough:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheekymonkey Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/ carry loads of stock, in Castle Combe, Wiltshire Do they do "normal" hose? I don't want samco/silicone, I just need to refresh some piping without paying silly Toyota prices. Am hoping someone like Chris W will notice this and tell me where he gets his stuff from (hint,hint) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
