Hi does anyone know the internal diameter of this coolant hose next to the oil filler cap ? Even an external diameter might be useful for me to order a new one.

Struggling to upload an image even after resize

Can't help with the hose, but I find that simply cropping a wider view picture down to the detailed image that you want to post works well.

Which hose are you looking for ?

The only 2 hoses in that general area are either the curved hose from the thermostat to the top of the swirl pot, or the small blanked off pipe on the top of the inlet manifold.

Fire away , if its the coolant hose going from thermostat housing to swirl pot 38mm and hose from swirl to rad 35mm IIRC scratchchin well the stubs are so down from here 33/36 and 32/34 hose i.d for example , better still just try ACT performance for hose sets he also does black if you dont want to the bling route

This is the site I want to buy off, it has anything from 6mm to 90mm and I can order a sample piece too.

Oh and my car is a 450 Supercharged, but I don’t think that should make any difference with the hose size tbh.
