CaptainP 2 Posted December 15, 2008 Swordfish have you definitely used 6mm on yours? Picked up a length of 6mm today and it won't even stay on the nipple on the throttle body, gotta be smaller I'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted December 15, 2008 3mm I.d I'm sure I've used, I think 6mm would be the o.d! Window washer pipe fits quite nicely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miamigtimark 3 1 Cars Posted December 16, 2008 sorry to hijack the thread but can any one tell me where the vacum advance pipe fits (manifold??) as i can see mine is missing off the distributor. Also does this have a major impact on the running of the car if its not fitted? Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrG 3 Posted December 16, 2008 well it allows air to enter where it shouldn't I think. It fits over one of the small inlets on the throttle body. I used washer tubing to, a squeeze to get on but nothing soaking it in hot water couldn't solve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is 6mm OD, but it's 3mm ID Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
