Everyone seems to say that 1/2 " is the correct diameter for the yellow leg hose, but is that referring to the inner diameter or the outer diameter? I’ve seen clear vinyl tubes at home depot with an outer diameter of 1/2 ", and to be honest they look a bit too thin. To my eyes, the ones that look like the right size have 1/2 " INNER diameter and a 5/8 " OUTER diameter.
Does anyone know for sure what the correct size is?
I use 1/2" OD and 3/8" ID.
Another reason I think the hose might be thicker than 1/2 " is that both Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray are over 6 ft. tall. They are big dudes, and the hose might look smaller because of that. I know those motorola radios look tiny on those guys, and those arent small.
Now, they could very well be 1/2 " thick. It’s impossible to tell for sure. I just want to know what everyone else thinks about it.
Dude, they’re 1/2" OD. It’s not impossible to tell for sure because they can easily be measured via interpolation with known objects from the film. Trust me, they are 1/2" OD. I’ve confirmed the calculations. The ID can be different, seeing as some people might not want to carry such heavy tube on their suits, but with thinner and thinner ID comes a higher cost. Standard tubing like this can be purchased from the GB Store on this site for a decent price.

Noob question - is the leg hose meant to be clear but slightly yellowy tinted plastic, or is it solid yellow?
It is translucent yellow (clear with yellow tint).
Well, I was going to ask which connector hose size is correct since I got a thick hose when I ordered the rubber connector and got a thinner hose when I received my resin connector + hose from MMM. So the thicker 1/2 inch hose is the correct one. Now, I just need to make a belt loop connector on the thicker hose like was already made onto the end of my thinner hose sent by MMM.
