Tonneau Drain Tubing

[DJT]

Can anyone tell me the ID and OD of the plastic tubing for the tonneau drain tubing and the fuel cap drain/vent tubing? I need to order new and I am 45 miles away from my Stag and won't be seeing it for 3 weeks.

Internal & external diameters ?

Mark (oooh, I fancy a pub quiz now !!)

Hi Dave,

As Mark says Internal Diameter and Outside Diameter. I've seen the Rimmers catalogue, but if it is common 8mm ID, 12mm OD I can buy it locally.

In my early days of Stag ownership, I found one of mine disconnected and the other completely missing

I saw an advert for the pipes and being pretty ignorant back then (and not much better now) I assumed that there was something special about them and paid something like £7 for a pair. When they arrived they were ordinary pipe section that I could have bought for about £1/metre

Not sure about the size though - would you like me to go and measure them later Dave ?

Cheers

My sentiments exactly Julian. If it isn't too much trouble, yes please.

Given the work being undertaken on your car, you would be as well to ensure the holes in the channel function as they are supposed to. Many pages back in his restoration thread, Drew observed there is a lip which prevents water which has collected in the channel from draining properly.

Hi Dave.

My plastic vent and overflow pipes are approx 12mm O.D. I guess a 2mm wall thickness giving 8mm I.D.

Checked mine today with a vernier - John is spot on with his measurements.
