neways should of gotten the 9mm, as the 15mm would be for thr bigger engines imo ?
why dont u just get a 9mm hose? or do a conversion 15mm hose to a 9mm hose ? u know what i mean ...

You didn't ask that in that thread whether a 9 or 15mm one would fit. Someone just said it should be 1 size fits all and you went ahead and bought it.

Well... Now that you are stuck with it, get step down adapters from 15mm to 9mm. Remember to get those that can withstand high temperatures.

Hardware store. Ask for 15mm-9mm hose adapters. Try to get stainless steel ones or at least heat resistant plastic. Get some hose clamps as well for the hose outer diameter so that the hose does not pop off from the adapters. If you are using plastic adapters, be careful not to overtighten.

assuming you're talking about ID when you mention the sizes, you can get a small piece of 9mm hose and push it on, get the next size up and push it on
then push your 15mm tubing with the kit over it and tighten it nicely
it might be a bandaid fix but does the same thing as the adapter :)

Pirtek sell the adaptors, Catch cans are one size fits all. It just depends on the lines your using and the connectors.
