Should be 5/16, your gonna have to measure the length. It might be easier to use 2 lines per side w/ a union. You'll need a tubing bender to make those tight bends.

I'm pretty sure those fittings on the new lines are the same thread as your oem lines, if not then just reflare them w/ your oem fittings.
