Brake Bleeding

Hey guys, wondering if any of you F2 gods out there know what size hose (inner diameter) to get for brake bleeding? I've searched everywhere and I can't find the answer... Thanks in advance!

I get the clear 3/16ths tubing from Orchard Supply Hardware. It stretches over the bleed nipple and you can see what is going on with your fluid. It doesn't get affected by the brake fluid either.

Thanks for the help! I ended up getting small sections of 1/4", 3/16", and 0.170 ID vinyl hoses to see which worked best. gpfan1 was right on the dot... 3/16" was the best.
