Hi,

 

I'm just doing this job on my 04 SuperSpec.

 

10mm (internal), 12mm (outer) diameter heating pipe fits. I found about 5 inches of the stuff in my kit but since I bought it 2nd hand it might have been added by the previous owner.

 

I've invented my own solution involving 8mm microbore pipe and lots of adaptors. The piping is cheap but the adaptors to match the pipes at each end and get round a tight bend are ridiculously expensive (I hope someone from B&Q is reading this!). If it all works I plan to polish the pipes so it looks like something off a traction engine :D .

 

Hope this helps,

 

John (jwts).

 

You can buy the copper pipe in B&Q its gas feed

 

I bought this + then used standard copper water pipe as per others and the SVA man was very impressed in B'ham

 

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

good luck with that! I'm hoping to get mine on the road soon too. I live in leeds now, and visit my parents now and again who still live in Barnsley. Once I've got mine on the road, maybe I'll have to do a little detour to check yours out too!

Nigel,

 

The other option would be to get some larger piping.
