all fitting should be G1/4 tubing size i'd say 16mm OD or equivalent imperial measurement.

What about fittings. I know one side should be G1/4 but what about the other side that goes into the tube. Should that be the size of the od ?

Use 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD tubing mate.

G1/4 is just the size of the part of the fitting that screws into the blocks and rads. You can get whatever size tubes and fittings you want. I personally use 3/8 by 5/8 and this is how they look
