3/16 and the flares are double flare and should be standard in most places

On my 89 Gt one of the lines from the Master Cylinder to the proportioning valve has a metric feting. All my brake related lines are DBL flared.
Yes thats is 45 degrees for a DBL flare.

the line is 3/16 but the fittings are metric and the front one is larger than the rear two. And the style of flare is called bubble flare.

these are brake line part definitions:
BLE-308 - 3/16" X 8" ISO Bubble Flare/Metric BLE-312 - 3/16" X 12" ISO Bubble Flare

here is the link to it:
