I know it's a cheeky question, but does anyone (or collectively) know the typical OD/ID/wall of the various hoses (coolant, fuel, oil, vacuum, air, any I've missed) for the 3,900cc engine?

I intend to replace my hoses with (probably) Samco ones (from ACT of course ) and want to start putting the shopping list together.

Many thanks in advance.

Why not ring up ACT and buy a set.

Tim looked at the car and went, "Umm!". So I guess it's a piecemeal job ... hence the question - S

So why do you think that asking for typical figures is going to help?

They have used 35 mm 24mm 19mm 12 mm 8mm and that is off the top of my head. Biggest problem will be if they have used any odd shapes which may need to be remade using multiple bits.

Just replaced a lot of the pipework on the 520 with copper piping so that all the hoses were effectively dead straight and easy to get and change. Used copper so that any holes or damage can be soldered. Also makes adding additional sensor holes a lot easier.
