19mm I/D, but you'll need to alter the nipples on the catch can depending on which one you've bought

Have a look on eBay for 'BSP taper fitting' You will have to make sure the threads match though.

Nice one, I'll have to keep an eye out. Just scrolled through and found a pic of your car from Wimbledon, is it still the same? Had another golf beeping at me near Clapham Junction a while back, wasn't you was it?

No mot me!! I've now changed the wheels to calibra dubs in black

Back to the hose sizes...does it HAVE to be 19mm could I get away with smaller or slightly larger silicone hose??

why would you use larger silicone hose?.. it needs to be oil resistant too!
