PM Rich, he may know off the top of his head.

If you don't have any joy with that route though, I guess I could have a looksee at mine (Be nice to avoid undoing it all again mind

)

I have looked around for you, but no answer to be found.

Depending on how soon you want to try it, I'm finishing the PAS removal fairly imminently with the loop of the lines on the rack. I'll be removing them and cutting (with a tube cutter!), de-burring, cleaning and installing with the usual looped rubber hose (removed from other part of the system). While there off, I'll get the measurements. I bet it's something like 5/16 though, a bit bigger than the brakes pipes at 3/16.

Will let you know over the coming weeks.

If I recall correctly, there are two different sizes as well

Nucleus - that'd be amazing if you could. I'm in no rush to try it so I can wait

Nafe - judging by the pics there are 2 or 3 different sizes?

Will do! I now keep a pad and pen in the garage with me and have started to document alot of sizes of things.

Been noting down lot's of things like bolt sizes for different things (want to replace them for shiny new ones

), decat dimensions (with going 3.0" I've had to think custom & retrofit), fuel pipe sizes (to run some AN6 lines), dimensions of things (to see if other stuff will fit), and so on. Honestly Nathan - you would love it! It's all going into the spreadsheet too - what else would I do in work!

Needs to be done though, I'll be browsing for parts and think, oh crap, what size is that! Don't know what to order now. The AN6 fuel lines has been an interesting one recently. Trying to figure out the parts I need to run from one thing to the next.

This is a godsend for bolts:

They've changed the design slightly now to state the typical thread pitch sizes for each 'M' size bolt underneath the holes. Cool little thing to have handy though.

I'll post up soon guys.

Nice work bud. I was thinking it'd very useful to have a list of fitting sizes, seems you've already started one

I'll check that link later this evening. Got to run now.

Oh and I'm right with you with the AN-6 lines

I've got a diagram/doodle that's been floating around in my lunch box for the past 6 months of all the fittings I'll need (That way it's always with me

Yeah, I've not seen a one stop shop for sizes & dimensions of things. Would be very handy for the Wiki.

I'll get it all typed up when I've got enough in a few months.
