Steve.b Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Another winter job! Guys, I need to replace the small lengths of rubber fuel hoses that go to Stromberg carbs on my 64 TR4. It's possible I'll consider braided rather than the standard rubber and so would be grateful if someone could confirm the bore size required. I have found a couple of earlier posts suggesting 1/4" on SU's but it's not quite clear if that would be the same for a Stromberg setup. Grateful as always.

ChrisR-4A Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 +1. Do make sure lts latest spec suitable for unleaded and Ethanol, it should be stencilled on the pipe. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 R9 hose is top spec for use with 5/10 % Ethanol fuels. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McMuttley Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 is 6mm as good as 1/4 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
