I’ve searched everywhere I can think of online but to no avail.
Many thanks

I'm pretty certain they'll be 16mm bore Phil, a quick measure of the diameter on the stubs from the ehater matrix will prove this - you're measuring the smaller diameter, not the bulbous barb to prevent the hose coming off.
I'd suggest buying some heater hose (16mm) "off the roll" on ebay, it's reinforced and won't go hard, brittle and discolour like PVC or go soggy with heat.
