Hello all. Does anyone know the ID of the link pipe at the bottom of the carburettors.

I’ll check this weekend but sure I had problems getting it or the clips and had to hunt.
Have a check on cmsnl or fowlersparts. If it ain’t on there you’re making do with eBay

Hi. It would be of great use if you can measure the iD for me. I think it’s a tricky size to get and at the moment I have too small a piece on there. Fowlers do have it but at the price they want for a inch of pipe is ridiculous

I think I used 4mm ID ruber hose on mine when I rebuilt it.

I had a look in the garage but I couldnt find any of it spare to measure but looking back at my eBay purchases, I got 4mm ID hose. I just used the cheap springy hose clips you buy a selection of on ebay for very little to secure it, hasnt leaked yet.

Aha, now I see with my reading glasses on. Internal dia not part number ID🙄
I was thinking I’d need to measure as it wasn’t available. I’ll be down the garage in a bit. Fairly sure it’s 4 or 5 mm but the difficulty was getting the O/D to suit with clips etc. I’ll try look look for where I found it. I’m pretty sure a normal garage/ shop will not have a suitable size. Too thick.
Hold on, didn’t you solve this 4 years ago? 😁
