Re: Sprint Fuel Pipe Size
I just buy 8mm copper central heating microbore pipe, its cheaper than the same stuff from the motor factors, fits all the other bits of the system and is beautifully malleable. Steve

Re: Sprint Fuel Pipe Size
Thx for the reply Steve, my mistake within the posting I should have said the ID pipe size is for the flexible or rubber fuel pipe - either side of the fuel pump / carb float bowls.

Re: Sprint Fuel Pipe Size
Never mind mate, the answers still the same, 8mm bore is correct (or 5/16" in proper measuring but if you ask for that in the factors the spotty youth behind the counter will say "sorry mate, we haven't had that for years!) Steve

Re: Sprint Fuel Pipe Size
The hard pipe outside diameters are tank to pump - 5/16" and pump to carbs - 1/4" so 8mm and 6mm for the flexible links.
