I have a "Genesis Brake Bleeder Bottle" from amazon, I'm not sure what size hose it is, but it fits perfectly.

any chance you could measure for us the inside diameter....
for whatever reason here in UK we just don't get the varied and similar supply of kit like you guys in US.. - i saw Kies motorsports videos where he was using all that Motec stuff which was perfect, none of it is supplied in UK - or i pay a hefty delivery charge.

cheapest brake bleeder bottle i can find here is about £22.....i refuse to pay that - i'd rather use a jam jar and clear plastic tube, i just need to know the diameter!

I'll try and get you a measurement when I'm home Friday.

Edit: I quickly googled, a lot of people recommend 1/4".
