Moquip hose I/D for dry sump hoses

[k80rum]

Does anyone happen to know what ID I'd be looking for to get a set of dry sump hoses? I don't really want to bother Think directly just yet as I'm still going through the options.

 

Hose choices seem to be 1/2, 5/8 or 3/4 internal diameter. I'm going to be using one run with -12JIC fittings and the others all with -10.

 

Thanks in advance if anybody can help.

Mine are 5/8 but ECR's are 3/4 I think - same car type , same tank - just different hose sizes. 5/8 seems to give enough flow on my car.

 

This is on a Vx, of course

Does it not depend on whether it is on the flow or return ?

 

My flow ( from pump through filter and to crank) are -10 and return is -12

 

This is based on Pace dry sump kit.

Caterham standard K-series drysump install is 5/8"BSP for both braided hoses to and from the belltank.

I've set mine up with -12JIC connections on the manifolded return to the tank and -10JIC on the rest of the runs. I'll double-check with Think, but I reckon it's going to be best to go with 5/8 for the -10JIC runs and 3/4 for the -12 one; I've noticed their part numbers for the hoses are of the type:

S100R6-12 for 3/4 ID

and

S100R6-10 for 5/8 ID

 

which *may* be an indication of which is best suited for which.

 

I'm probably safe to go with 5/8 but I'll work out what I think I need and then see what they say.

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
