Regarding the fuel hardlines. This was on my EG Hatch. I used the same flare tool I used to do all my brake lines.
The feed line was -5AN
The return line was -4AN
I got all the parts for it from anplumbing.com
I dont know if it would be the same on other models, i wouldnt imagine it would be but i cant be sure.
One tip is dont cut and flare the lines too low (unless you do it under the car) as i didnt realise and mine are a real b***h to get to now that my crossmember is in.

Heres how i did my fuel lines:
The small line is -4AN and the large is -5AN. (you need a tube nut and tube sleeve of either size). I used a 37 degree single flaring tool although its hard to see the flare in the pic.
I used -4AN and -5AN male to -6AN male adaptors to connect the nuts to the hose ends.

I don't know. I just took a bolt I liked, cut it short enough, and re-threaded it to 10mm x 1.25 lol.

I was impatient and cut my fusebox instead and now I am trying to solder the wires together but I'm running into a problem. I have all of the wires connected expect for:
black w/ green line, 2 silver dots
black, 2 sliver dots
For most of the wires, there was only 1 wire that had a certain line and dot pattern. But I have 2, which are the ones I mentioned above. I don't know which one to connect because there are 2 wires that are the same, but just located on different sections of the fusebox? HT help please!

I'd be tipping that the black ones are earth and it goes to the earth junction box (i placed behind the fender near the headlight.

Forgot to mention my car is a DC. This picture is for reference but you can see the black wire with the 2 silver dots on the bottom right side of the fuse box. There are 2 of those and 2 of the black/green w/ 2 silver dots.

what a mess^^^^ I hope you plan to tape and cover all those wires up.
Why didnt you just unplug the wire from the fuse box?????
