Re: 318 Bottom Hose

Good motoring

Re: 318 Bottom Hose

Nice motor Pete
Thank you for your welcome.
As far as I can see, the hose seems to be the same diameter at each end. I believe they are 41mm I/D. The hose isn't leaking, though it looks very tired so I want to replace it. I don't want to remove it till I have a new one if possible!
