I’ve moved my hand controls around to match a new body position and now the hose connecting the reservoir and master cylinder is a little bit short.
So I wonder, what kind of hose is appropriate for connecting the reservoir and master cylinder? I don’t think it needs to be high pressure hose, but it shouldn’t break down when exposed to DOT4 fluid either. I'm also not positive what size hose should be used...and I guess new hose clamps would be needed?
:::ANSWER:::
Stock tubing is 8mm = 5/16" + 0.003" (inside diameter) and it needs to be chemically resistant to brake fluid.
So, the best options are:

Hose clamps are still under investigation.
