If you are using braided onto a standard tank you will need -12.

You might get -10 to fit but It will be very tight.

I've got -10 on my 3 Door and it fitted a piece of piss, i'm pretty sure -12 would be to big.

may be its different makes are different sizes?
i got -10 first from torques and it was to tight then tried -12 and was perfect.
the inside diameter of -12 is 17mm and -10 is 14mm.

measure the tank fitting mate, i'm sure its bigger than 14mm

The tank pipe is 15.9mm OD
Inlet on a standard pump is 15mm OD
-10 hose is 14.3mm ID
-12 hose is 17.5mm ID

I just think the -10 is a better fit and plenty big enough for flow.

where abouts did you measure the tank pipe? theres a raised part to the front of it which it where i struggle. the braided hose doesnt stretch very easy.
i put a adaptor on my pump and a straight hose fitting on the pump side instead of using jubilee clips either side.

Never did get around to posting the part numbers, but here's a list of basically everything you need to do a saph so it's basically the same.
