Yes Ruiaridh, I think that's the on. Mine was for a renault 5.
It is too large for the Austin hose, but its OD is the same as the OD of the Austin Hose.
I use a small piece of Austin size hose at each end as a spacer between the new hose and the water outlets on radiator and cylinder head. A short length of copper central heating pipe is used to support the smaller hose where it is attached inside the larger. There is insufficient clearance with the header tank to take the large hose all the way up.
I drilled two small holes in the flange of the thermostat to avoid iarlock as there is no bypass.
Picture attached to shoe the installation. The click on the hose closer to the head secures the thermostat in the hose.
I use silicone hose as its more accommodating. I couldn't find black silicone hose at a sensible price in short lengths.
