Brake bleed hose

[otherman]

Recently bought a fancy looking blake bleed hose, because I can't find the one I bought in 1978. Turns out all these hoses are 5mm ID and the mini is fitted with bigger (I guess 3/8ths) bleed nipples. Where are you all getting hoses for those?

thanks

I just use clear plastic hose similar to the screen washer type hose, purchased from ebay (I think) in a 1 metre length and cut it down to the size required, just get the nearest metric equivalent internal diameter hose and push it over the bleed nipple.

Thanks. That's what I came up with as well, waiting for it to arrive.
