yes i do , it is  saturday evening i will go out with my vernier and measure it for you , it is 8mm o/d i am 99% sure .

quantity needed is basically the wheelbase measurement  multiplied by 2 (feed and return)

give me an hour or so as i am trapped in front of the log burner....

it is 8mm o/d you can replace the steel line with nylon pipe and use compression fittings to make the joins and connections /run the nylon tube back in the clamps/clips  from the old steel pipe.

now back to my log burner... ahhhh
