Had a look today under the bonnet and the 2 hoses are in a pretty awkward position, so rather than a straight bit of pipe I shall need an "U" shaped pipe, size is about 7 or 8mm, not sure. For best access gotta remove the cam cover, although it COULD be done with just removing the intake pipe and one of the brackets from the cam cover to the top of the manifold.

I knocked up a job lot of bypass pipes out of 3/8"OD Stainless Instrument Tubing, machined down by 1mm at the ends, and bent using a pipe bender.
If anyone is in the Instrument trade, maybe they could knock you one up...or if you need to buy tubing, 3/8" stainless works a treat.

really, i did it last night with my leatherman in 5 mins, did remove the left inlet mani braket thing, i just completely got rid of one pipe+ the other goes from front of block to expansion tank. just left the tb with nothing connected. make any sense?

axewielder, any pics?

Ess, 3/8" (10mm) sounds about right. I'll try and get U shaped copper piper or s/s pipe and try it out.
