There are three hoses: supply hose, pressure hose, and return hose.
I believe that 1/2"/12.7mm return hose works, but I don't have the leftover piece at my apartment to look at it. In any case, the only hose that will work off a roll of hose is the return hose. The other hoses can't really be cobbled together. I'd recommend mail ordering them from a site sponsor or from rockauto. You can buy the pressure hose for about $20 and the return for around $10.
The pressure hose is manufactured using crimps between the rubber and metal parts. The supply hose has a formed "u" shape at the end where it connects to the steering pump. The return hose is also crimped where the rubber meets the metal tubing. You can use a cut-off tool to remove the crimp and then use a hose clamp to connect the new 1/2" return hose. It's not under much pressure. Don't try this with the pressure hose.
