#1 Low pressure brake hose sizing?

Post by rod g » Fri Dec 27, 2019 1:55 am

Can someone tell me what the correct ID for low pressure brake hose from the reservoirs to master cylinders should be?
I’ve purchased 5/16 but am wondering if it should be 1/4?
Thanks

I just measured a piece of the correct yellow stripe reservoir hose from XKs and it is 1/4" ID.

BTW if you're in Aus Autobarn have Valvoline 20W50 out for $9.99 for 5l! It says 2 per customer but they just sold me 6 bottles.
