I am not 100% sure but are they not M12x1.25 ?
On the MKIV , I believe from the hanger and into the oem filter it is M14x1.25 and out of the filter it is M12x1.25 . If I remember right , they are same as that filter out banjo bolt.

no need to replace bolt , just cut line undercar , use a fuel hose and clamp a bolt on it as from the banjo bolt upwards into tank is a long metal tube that feeds the system .. i use the feed and return banjo connections as a way of returning fuel back to tank

They're prob 14m x 1.25 or 12m x 1.25 like gerrb said. Pull one, take it to the bolt place and get a short stainless bolt and new crush washer. Use a factory crush washer, do not use an o-ring. I usually drill out the banjo portion bung on supras and replace with a bulkhead fitting.
Anyone that tells you to plug a line with a hose, bolt, and a clamp, especially dealing with fuel, is ghetto. You're going about this the right way. Good job.

and no its not ghetto as theres zero pressure .. all you need to do is cap the metal line inside the tank as it runs upwards inside tank then down the hanger to pump .. just cap it right there and be done with it
btw , i run 1000 hp fuel systems , so i might have a small idea about our fuel supply systems , maybe

Hey lexforlife. That's nice your fuel system is capable of 1000whp. But you're advising someone to cut a line and use a piece of rubber hose and a ****ing bolt in the hose to cap it off. THAT IS GHETTO. This dude is trying to make his car proper and clean. Don't derail him. In fact, I have never installed a big fuel system in an sc. So tonight I'm going to go look at my gfs car because I can't force myself to believe anything from someone who would suggest something along the lines of putting a bolt in a hose with a clamp.

well its not like you are plugging a line that is still being fed by the pump, its a leftover line that is essentially like a vent now if I understand right. fittings would be better but look out for the little hole that was mentioned, most likely there is a better way to block it but it doesn't seem that bad really if there is no pressure on the line.
