If 8mm microbore is okay I would have thought the only down side to 10mm is that it's quite big

I used 8mm on the Falcon and the buggy, no problems. You can solder olive compression rings to the ends to act like a flare and help prevent the hose
being pulled off

Ooooh I like it! I was going to epoxy a bit of string round the end of the tube as a DIY flare. But some olives soldered sounds much nicer....

The subject appears to be done to death, but I agree I used micro-bore pipe and it's perfect.
