Zerk Panel Copper Tube Size?

Where are you guys buying your silicon bronze tubing? I can't find it.

When I commented on the silicon bronze it was from experience with it in industrial plumbing. I haven't seen brake lines of silicon bronze, only nickel copper fwiw

Sorry about that, my old brain was conflating alloys. You are right, its nickel/copper not silicon/bronze. Silicon/bronze is for brazing. Mea culpa.

They are talking about nickel/copper.

It shouldn't be necessary to reinvent the wheel for these, as it's quite common to use remote Zerk fittings. The reason I mentioned measuring is that there obviously more than one size used.

You can also replace the copper lines with something like this:

That sure looks easier and not too spendy either. Looks like you simply unscrew the zerk fitting and screw in a new base then attach the hose. Would be a nice to have for the few fitting that are a real reach.
