There are three hoses. The pressure hose (pump to rack) needs to be bought from eeuro, or a hydraulic shop. You can't make that hose yourself.
For the return hose (rack to reservoir) I cut the metal part of the old hose in half and just put on generic fuel hose, with a couple hose clamps.
For the reservoir to pump hose, I can't remember what I used. It is slightly larger diameter and I got it at the local auto parts store. They had a rack with all the different hose sizes and cut to whatever length you want.
This setup has been working great for two years now. The reservoir to pump hose that you get from eeuro is bent to allow it to wander correctly down that side of the engine compartment. If you use regular straight generic hose like I did, its a good idea to zip-tie it somewhere along its path.
