Default Flame trap, and hose size....

Hi Guys,

I'm about to order more quip for the breather on the car
BUT
After looking on the GGR site, they use an adaptor in place of the flame trap - IIRC, pretty much everyone leaves the flame trap in place (I'm sure that Dave (now Pauls) engine had in it place, as did Damo's - what size hose is it (in - sizing) will i need to connect to this - I'm guessing -12 as per what would be used with a GGR adaptor in place of the flame trap?

Cheers


*edit to add - I am right in thinking fuel line would be -6 aren't I? - may as werll order it all at once as its coming from the states...)

its easier to remove flame trap if you have a ggr type oil sep as you can then use the orig return to sump for your oil sep return, ggr ones use -12 for this and -10 for the other breathers,-8 for return, -6 is fine for fuel
