Default Tubing to help me bleed my brakes?

Where can I get clear tubing to help me bleed my brakes properly. What size does the tubing have to be (diameter)?

Thank you in advance, please help me out!

You mean to place over the nipple? Go to home depot. In the plumbing section, just buy a few lengths of water lines for refridgerators, or better yet, it wont be clear, but get some drip system hose (Sprinklers).

Yes. I was there today but I could not find any clear tubing and I had no idea what size I needed so I got some air compressor hose which is like 3/8" and now I'm stuck with it lol.

I just go to my local ace hardware store. They have various diameters of clear tubing on spools. I bought like 6-10 feet of each of the sizes I thought I would need. If one doesn't fit, the other will. Good to have this stuff around for a variety of jobs. I buy the cheapest stuff they sell and have not had problems with it melting or cracking from chemical reactions to gas, brake fluid, power steering fluid, trans fluid, motor oil. If it ever does get hard and brittle, I'll just throw it away and go buy more.
