Reply #3 - 11/28/07 at 08:57:19 Think Greg's ID measure is about right. Outside diameter may be 1/2" but most hoses are measures ID. EDIT: at least when I rebuild my engine it looked about that size.

Tubing is sized by OD (though sometimes it is sized with both as in 4 x 6 mm). Hose and pipe are sized by I.D. So, the breather hose is about 3/8 ID (and looks like 1/2 OD). My only wonder is if it is 10 MM since it is no doubt metric (.375" vs .393"). I just know that it fits very nicely on my K&N breather filter.

Reply #5 - 11/28/07 at 18:25:01 Ok, at home now,.... ran out to the garage and dug up the "dead-head". And.... I actually found my metric steel rule. The breather pipe measures 10mm I.D., and "about" 12mm O.D. That does not include the rib/ridge.

Reply #6 - 11/29/07 at 07:49:24 That did it...I went out to the garage and dug up my "dead head" hose...and actually found my calipers The hose measures ~.437" or 7/16" or >11 mm ID. And .565" or 9/16" or <15 mm OD With a <.125" or <1/8" or <2 mm wall thickness. There. I think we covered it
