axle breather pipe

(1/2) > >>

davidlandy:
Does anybody know what (internal) diameter the correct pipe is?


I want to do the job of extending the breathers properly this time!

karloss:
Fairly sure it's 4mm Dave. Seem to think it's 6mm outside 4mm inside but it could well be imperial ie 1/4" outside, the two are close enough to not matter a jot tho'.

Kenny:
Whilst on the topic does any particular type/quality of pipe have to be used ? Will fish tank air pump tube be OK ?

davidlandy:
i used windscreen washer hose

the prob seems to be that it kinks to easily and I believe can implode to restrict breathing IMO. so I am going for the proper stiff walled stuff.

I leaking diff pinion seal on the back has prompted this.

muddyweb:
I got some pneumatics hose (from RS I think) and used that.  Nice and rigid walls but flexible enough for easy routing.

I needed to stick the end in boiling water to soften it enough to fit to the banjo, but once on.. no problems at all.
