The thread is 3/8 so around 10mm In new money
Thickness to suit whatever you want
You can get bog standard ones from RS or Halfords
I found plumbers ptfe tape Aswell is better as it locks them in position

You're thinking of bank sticks not bobbins

Bobbin threads are 2ba or 5mm, but the op might actually mean the o rings that fit the bobbin line clips

I just tried a couple on my old bobbins as I have a box of o rings sitting around and I was curious.

4mm internal diameter with 1.8mm section fitted perfect.

5mm ID sort of fitted but was too loose and bulged out when tightened.

I reckon anything between 4 and 4.5mm ID would be fine.
