I've got existing braided lines with stock brakes in front. I'm about ready to swap over to a 14mm banjo master cylinder. I believe I need to replace the lines as the banjo bolt diameter would be different. Am I correct in thinking this?

The brake lines will work with the new 14mm master.  The banjo size will be the same.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

14mm is the diameter of the piston within the master cylinder.

The banjo's the same same.
