Anyone know the inside and outside diameter of our radiator hoses

Wanna order some braided stainless steel hoses and don't have a clue what size. Yes, I know I could pull a hose, but I'm at work, and it could get a little messy.

I'm seeing -6 -8 -10 -12 for the sizes, but I don't see what they equate to. Anybody?

i can't really define it, but here is an example:

this is a -12AN male to 1 1/4" adaptor. the treaded portion is a -12AN fitting

As I recall the size on an AN hose is the inside diameter in 16ths of an inch. A -8 is 1/2" id, etc.

Braided is a bitch to use with clamps, there is a silicone hose available that works great for water. Do a search for Racers Wholesale or Earls Supply for either hose.
