Default Tube Diameter Needed for Brake Bleed

Hi:

I promise I've looked, but I can't find the answer to this...

Does anyone know what diameter clear tubing I need for a brake bleed (2003 Disco2)

Thanks!

Take the rubber cap off the bleed nipple and measure the diameter and drop down about 0.5-1.0mm. At a rough guess I reckon it's around 6mm ID neoprene tube.

I just use 3/8" OD X 1/4" ID Clear PVC Vinyl Tubing from any Home Depot, Lowe's, Local Hardware Store, etc.

It only costs about .25 to .30 cents a foot (or less), and you can buy it in bulk off the roll.
That hose also comes in pre-cut lengths from 2' to 20'. It's real easy to find, and works great.
