Can anyone tell me the external diameter of the pipes on item 4 below.

I want to remove the heating bit from the inlet manifold. And therefore put a joint in.

I think you actually want the internal diameter ! my guess is it's about 8mm...

No the external diameter! As I need to know what size tube fits over it. Therefore the external diameter of the pipe will give me the internal diameter of the tube. :mad:

you can also block that circuit from the source,
i.e put in a bolt in the hoses that are the correct size and thus stoping the circulation,
Or leave it, it has nothing do with performance only helping the throttle body from freezing in cold weather,
With great challenges comes great engineering.
