Replaced mine with braided lines a few weeks ago, just gone and measured the pipes I took off. Barring the CC line, they're 14mm OD (8mm ID) hoses.

Got the OE ones I took off if you're stuck?

Did the turbo coolant line in AN -10 as well while I was at it Fuel lines were all AN-6 hose from Pirtek and Earls (not the nylon stuff as it will never seal), with appropriate finishers. Give me half an hour and I'll post the link to where I got the finishers from if it helps...

Got braided hoses from Earls and Pirtek but the majority of the fittings were from Torques UK (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/id=81447352...STRK:MEFSX:SST). Very helpful people.

To fit over the rubber lined 8mm ID hose you'll need the 15mm (OD) hose finishers (the 12.5mm ones only fit the smaller ID nylon lined hose) available in red/blue/black/silver/chromed as far as I remember:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-AN6-15mm-Blu...item230a81b65d

I also used a few of these hose separators:
