Default fuel line

anyone know the inside diamiter of the red plastic fuel lines on the metering head?
one of mine is split and i'd rather replace them with rubber lines rather than plastic heat srunk ones

The "plastic" lines are nylon and are suitable for very high fuel pressures.
I would find replacement nylon lines.

finding it hard to track some down, rubber fuel is rated to 700psi surely if tightened down properly with the correct fuel line hose clips this would be ok

I need to change a few kinked ones on mine but I daren't. I have heard so many horror stories about people retro-fitting new ones in and fuel leaking out resulting in an engine fire. Its kinda put me off!
