Fuel/Wicks for a 60/70 s vintage Colibri?

I recently found a nice Colibri pocket cigarette lighter that seems to date from 1960 s or 1970 s (has West German make-mark on it.)

I want to get it working again but I think it needs new wick, flints, etc. Will a normal Zippo wick fit it? And will regular lighter fluid (I.E. Ronsonol) work or does it need a special mixture of some kind? Zippo flints did not quit fit when I tried to replace them so bought a set of Colibri brand ones and will see if those do.

Any help would be appreciated!
