yep you can get 48mm or look for 1 7/8"
If you get hose joiners you can cut them in half.

Try SFS Performance for your silicon hose, cheaper than Samco and I've had nothing but excellent service from them and good turnaround time for
special orders.

Hi Jacko was the problem letting air in or was the pipe coming off, I have a set of Blackbird carbs and there's about 10 or 12 mm to fasten to
is that enough with a jubilee clip

They use to come off so i glued them on + jubilee clips then made a bracket to support the carbs

people say they degrade with petrol, but as said above people have used them for years without trouble
