Default Help with various hose diameter !

Well I've almost got the engine bay done however I dont know the inner diameter of various hoses I need to replace.

There's a coolant hose coming off the x-over on the heads, this leads into the throttle body (drivers side), theres another hose coming off the TB leading to the radiator.

I also need to know what size the power steering hose is (drivers side).

Thanks in advance....

Are you still working on replacing with all silicone hose? I still haven't found a good place that sells the rad hose for a decent price.

I can give ya the ID of the hose you're talking about as soon as I get home (around 1:30) I have mine removed as I'm getting the crossover pipe chromed

Short piece of hose running from x-over to the TB has a 3/16" ID - I believe Derek98z is correct that hose running from rad to TB is 3/8"

OK well here's the deal, rather problem.

I'm running the FAST 78mm TB and of course it has no provisions for the radiator fluid passthorugh. So I figured that maybe I could get away with using an AN end on the x-over side (compression fitting on the the x-over) and using an earls braided hose which would simply slide on the radiator side, then clamping it (radiator side) with an earls chrome econo worm clamp.

Does anyone have a solution that doesnt require welding an AN fitting to the damn x-over ?

Right now I have no way of connecting the two different hoses together and I don't wanna rig it - I want a clean look.

-----------------------
Got your PM Jay, did you ever hear anything from Thunder on the shipping date for the MBA billet pulley ? I was wondering cause my powdercoater is sitting on his hands waiting for all my stuff.
