[Tigers] Windscreen washer tubing

[Ron Fraser]

	It took me awhile to get to this.   I just found some of the
original tubing; OD = .204", ID = 3/32.  This tubing could have easily
changed dimensions over the years but I would guess that the ends had to be
heated some to fit them.

	I also found that this tubing and the heater cable use the same
grommet.  The heater cable is .190" in diameter.   It therefore makes sense
that the tubing OD is around .200".

	I bought some Tygon tubing, R-3603, OD = 1/4", ID = 1/8", for my
Tiger and I made a grommet of some sort work at the firewall.  I have worked
on other Tigers that use a larger OD tubing with no grommet but the ID is
still small.

Hope that helps you

Listers -

Just curious if anyone knows the 'correct' ID/OD dimensions of the tubing
used for the windscreen washer system.  I have an original dash
plunger/pump, which appears to have 1/8" or 5/32" diameter hose barbs.  I
also have remnants of what I believe to be original tubing, which looks like
3/16" OD.  So, ideally I should be looking for 1/8" or 5/32" x 3/16" clear
vacuum hose, correct?  Anyone with better dimensions?  Decent sources for
the tubing?

Thanks!
