Not 100% sure but I suspect there the same diameters. Have you got a pic of your engine you can post ?

I ll put a pic up in Abit

Looking at the pics the length of your hoses will be different but as your cutting your own to length it doesn't matter, still think the diameter will be the same though mate

What size pipes and connectors did you get in the end ?

 

[nally270lb.TQE]

8mm bore, no outer diameter they all seem same! When you buy the hose clamps it should ask what bore size the hose is. Didn't mean to put same pic up. Will put a closer one up tomo.

 

[taff141177]

Nice one for that where did you get the stuff from I've noticed a few outer diameters range from 11.5-14/15 mm

These are what I used. It says for use with over braided but works fine.

unfortunately when they say red for the hose finishers it seems it means purple. oh well.coolant hoses next.

Looking good so far you using silicone hosing for your coolant ?

 

[nally270lb.TQE]

Thinking as I have a lot of silicone in the bay anyway I might try find some red adaptors and go with braided for coolant. Just don't want to look too much .

 

[taff141177]

Can you use braided hosing on the coolant thought it would have to be silicone don't know why ?

Braiding just sits over the silicone hose inside anyway, so cant see it making any difference
