Default Fuel hose size?

I have a 79 shark, and am replacing the fuel pump. The fuel hose that runs from the pump to the fuel accumulator in the wheel well is looking pretty old, and should be replaced. The "official" Porsche part is no longer available (and was outrageously expensive, too!). Does anyone know the diameter of this hose?

My '78 had a 9.5mm hose here (same as 3/8"). My hose had a 10mm steel tube on one end and a 3/8" barbed banjo fitting on the other end.

5/16" EFI hose should do the trick with a 14mm or 15mm EFI hose clamp.
Make sure it is EFI hose and not fuel hose.

3/8” EFI hose and 14-15mm EFI clamps were the right size for one of my early ‘78s
