Yamaha Red Label Refret
FG-180 needs new frets. I'm gonna do it myself. What fret size & brand should I buy? I'd like the new to match the old especially the tang. And what's the fingerboard radius? I'd like to buy pre-bent wire. These pieces of info have eluded me on the internets.

Pull a fret and measure it. Radius doesn't matter since the wire should have a smaller radius when installed so barbs are locked into the wood when it's inserted. Bend it to suit; some is sold in straight pieces. Brand doesn't matter. You may want to glue them in to insure solid contact.
Caution: I'm a hobbyist with little experience, but, this would be my approach.
