Anyone know the internal diameter of the solid fuel lines that run the length of the car?

I have just removed some.....

When I find a good piece I'll measure it and post it up.

Are you making up some?

ID of the solid lines is 6mm, wall thickness is 1mm making the OD 8mm

Which is good as the rubber hose is ID 8mm and OD 13mm

Thinking of making some out of braided hosing, But it's pretty cheap from the dealer.
