They only have 10mm od , 8mm id, any good?
They'll work fine
Yes 8mm I/D is what you want. Some use 10mm for high powered cars.
I'm pretty sure it's 5/16" or 8mm OD, not ID.
Woz,
I would go for 3/8 OD with an internal of 8mm:

Cheers guys, went with the 8mm id. Ordered 20 feet , should be enough? Only 2 lines from pump to fpr?
Ta
Errrr not done it yet, next Saturday though. I'll keep u posted.
8 mm is the one!
done mine about 8+ years ago.
Practice the bends using a 30mm socket in an engineering vice.
Use the old lines as a pattern.
Bit of an issue there. The old lines were just replaced with rubber! Haha
I was sure it's 8mm OD so will be good to see how you get on.
What's the best way to join the rubber sections to the copper lines? Do the lines need flaring out at all? If so what's the best way?
Cheers
I just banged on some decent quality fuel hose - I didn't flare mine.
So pretty much just squeeze the copper line inside the rubber section and seal with a fuel line clip/jubilee clip?
Yep, that's what I've done. Obviously make sure the fuel hose is a good tight fit over the copper line.
Solder a copper olive on and then heat the rubber hose until flexible enough to push over.
How did you get on with this mate? Any difficulties?
I plan to do this at the weekend so any tips would be helpful.
Thanks
This is on my list of jobs to do aswell!
