a question about hose size

[126coupe]

Is -8 the same size as 1/2 inch hose??

[Grady Clay]

Yes, the dash-number is the inch size in 16ths. -12 is 3/4", -16 is 1"

Best,
Grady

Does anyone know the I.D. of the plactic tube used to attach to the brake bleed nipple, and any advice on how long that tube ought to be.

Thanks

7mm rubber bulk hose worked for me.
