3/16" or 5mm will be OK.
Won't a fish tank shop sell the fancy expensive silicon tubing? :-\ A proper motorfactors will sell plastic tubing cheaper. :y :y
(assuming you've still got one :-\)

Trouble is, there aren't many left these days, the likes of Halfords have killed a lot of them. The bloke in your Motorfactors will be able to advise anyway ...... without needing to know age/make/colour/engine size/etc of your car ;) ;)

Indeed, last time I went to an ECP looking for hose off the reel I was curtly told they don't sell anything without a registration number or VIN and a part number..

Either buy brake fluid resistant tubing or by plenty as brake fluid kills most plastics and rubbers

I got stuck once, I routed thru swmbo kitchen stuff.
I found a dinky little funnel, cut the stem off to the dia . of some fuel pipe.
bit of garden wire here & there & hey presto .........spent the rest of afternoon in casualty.
brake fluid stings a bit, but the eye settled down after a while, ears were ringing a bit too. :P
-
all done. Bought a 'visibleed' kit for five quid from halfords. Pads came out with bit of persuasion. Oddly new pads didnt want to go in even after caliper piston moved back. However was just a bit of Shit built up. Filed that away and brake cleaned job done. That copper anti seize gets everywhere though lol
-
ps just a quick note about the bleed kit. . It has a one way valve on the end so no need to submerged the end in fluid. Very handy :-)
