brake reservoir tubing

[eric.geiger]

Does anyone know the proper diameter for the clear brake line tubing that goes from the master cylinder to the reservoir?
The stuff i purchased from honda600carparts.com is sweating and i want to replace it. Ive found stuff listed on multiple motorcycle websites but need to know the proper diameter.
If you have a place you've purchased from let me know.
Also if anyone has any NOS tubes ill buy / trade other NOS items for them
Thanks

[Bill]

The reason the hose is sweating is that it is meant to be used for food like vegetable juices and not DOT3 brake fluids.  like the one listed below which states in it's description that it is Food Grade tubing.

ya ive figured that out after seeing it sweat for the last year..   I've located the proper tubing from Brembo and other brake manufacturers, i just need the size now so i order the right one.
any one got an Inside diameter on the OEM tubing or that the outside dimension is on the reservoir where it connects?

I have my master cylinder out on my workbench right now. It's not exact, but my original tubing's inside diameter measures 10mm or 3/8"
Please let me know if you find anything that works.

is the 10mm inside diameter you speak of on the very end where its already been stretched over the "nipple" on the reservoir or is it in the center where it hasn't been stretched?  can u maybe measure the nipple on the Master or the plastic reservoir?
Thanks a lot!
ill post up what i find from cycle shops when i can confirm the proper size.  so far I've found 8mm Brembo clear tubing

I measured it and the outside diameter into the master cylinder is the same.

according to the specs you measured it looks like Tygon 2075(2375) would be the best bet.  3/6" ID 1/2" OD
This specific Tygon is resistant to brake fluid as per mfg specs.
if anyone else is interested let me know most places only sell it by 5-10' chunks unless you wanna pay a ton for shipping.   id be willing to buy a 10' section and ship it to anyone interested to save everyone from ending up with 3x more than they need.
let me know.  cost would be like 10$ shipped for enough for 1 car.

sounds good.  how quick are you gonna be done with your master cylinder.  before i order it id like to confirm with my own measurements that the sizing and wall thickness are all correct.   or if you can measure the OD and wall thickness with a dial caliper i can use those for ordering purposes

I'm almost done, but not in a huge hurry. I don't have a caliper so I can wait until you confirm the sizes.
