0.093" is just a touch smaller than 3/16". 0.120" is just under 1/8". So get a bit that is 1/64" smaller than each and that will give you a good ballpark measure.

Probably be 0.120" lines then. 7/64=0.109" 8/64=1/8=0.125, so that won't fit in a 0.120 line.

Doable, but I wouldn't care too.
Anyone know what size stock lines are? Just curious.

Just do it. You got them used so they will still be used when your done with them. Everyone has a different idea of "streetable". What's the worst that could happen? You don't like how they drive so in a month you buy new ones spend 5 minutes changing them and sell these.

.078 I believe.
And if you can swap out ppump conversion lines in 5 minutes then my hats off to you. Usually takes me half an hour of fighting to get them to fit right.

If you got them, run them. I've only experience with .078" lines on a 12mm pump and .093" on a 13mm, so I can't really comment on the streetability of them. If you don't like them, you'll buy different ones.
