Ive got one, but was on the car when I bought it, just looks like standard size samco hose on it though.

Im sick of burning my arms etc on it though when ive been doing anything under bonnet after car has been running, gets very very hot

try soaking the end of the hose in some boiling hot water for few mins first, that will soften it and make it easier to stretch
