Vacuum/boost hoses - size required?

[Giles]

Bought some before but I bought 6mm and this was ok for one but too big for others ....... what size ID do i need for vacuum/boost hoses before I order 10meters?

[t5 pete]

4mm ID

[Giles]

will 10m be enough?

[t5 pete]

Yeah giles 10m will be more than enough just make sure you buy good quality and not cheep silicone internailly braided hose is the best as the cannot expand or impload like the soft silicone.
I would estimate you only need 5mtrs max

Glad you recieved the gas struts

quick - what size jubilee clip do i need for 4mm hose? bought the hose and need to add them ....

[nobananas]

I replaced all mine with copper in a combination of brake pipe for the smaller bore and fuel pipe for the larger then you only need half a meter of both size rubber or silicon pipe to make the joins either end.
