Clark, What ever you do don't bother trying to make one up yourself (or via a hydraulic shop). I went that route and wasted about $65. The hose is a non-standard internal diameter with pressure regulator tube inside. Without the regulator your pump will whine loudly when you turn the wheels and will be quickly ruined. Either gamble on one from a salvage yard or bite the bullet and get it from the dealer. I seem to recall the hose *only* costing around $150-200USD.
