pedrosixfour Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 16mm inside diameter buddy. Be sure that it is oil resistant hose you get. The Toyota part number for the proper pipe is 44348-24040. A pipe that isn't preformed like the original might be inclined to kink in the confined space available but don't let that stop you trying.

Lude Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 seems there is space there, i was thinking of just getting any pipe and cutting it to fit, could get 17mm pipe & just jubilee clip it on, as its not high pressure or anything at the resivour, but must be oil resistant ye? thaught any rubber will do?

pedrosixfour Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 No, most rubber will disintegrate over time when exposed to oil or any other type of petrochemical. But it's not hard to find. But stick with the 16mm inside diameter, the pipe fitting is 16mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Why not buy the proper pipe from a local motor factors ? B & Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 theres a B&Q & Leeks right round the corner thats all, convenience, if they have it that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 thanks mate, will leeks/B&Q stock this? will have a look later its gotta be cheaper than toyota It's doubtful B&Q will have it, I'd say at the very least a decent motor factors should be your first point of call. Someone specialising in hydraulic pipes and such would definitely stock it. Anyone like that near you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lude Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) just switched this today, new pipe looks great however iv notived that the other pipe is split also (the top pipe that goes to the cooler) blumin shame they are different sizes as i could have done em tonite. gonna order the other pipe, nice long one so goes straight to the cooler (currently at the mo its 2 short ones with a joiner) anyone know the diameter size required? ive got the old pipe off & will measure it, but wana make sure got it right (as the end is bit split/stretched) i make it 12mm?
