B and Q have rolls of different thicknesses. I took a brake in to get the right fit, think a metre was less than a quid.

Get the size you think and one either side as well...easy to get the wrong stuff plus it stretches a bit so you want a nice tight fit 🙂

Tube from a knackered camelback(or similar) and use a cable tie to restrict the end that goes over the bleed nipple(make it a tight fit)
