I've re-hosed lots of Jags. Nothing exotic required. FWIW, I use whatever 'fuel injection' grade hose the local parts store has on hand. Gates and Dayco are the most common. The type shown on that Ebay listing should be fine.

The only time I had a problem was with the hose that had the blue inner liner. I think it was one of Goodyear's offerings. Anyhow, the blue liner would separate from the actual hose while pushing it onto the barbs.
