Those Motive hoses get brittle and crack after a few years,
and you notice it just when you get ready to use it.

This is the 5/16 ID 7/16 OD tube from the bleeder to the brake resevoir adapter.

What kind of hose have people used that will hold up to brake fluid when
they don't want to order replacement hose from Motive and wait for it to ship and arrive?
(i.e. available at Lowe's or similar local hardware stores).

Would consider this a cheap single use item, just so it doesn't
melt, dissolve, or leach with brake fluid going through it once.

 

I've found that it's not what will or won't hold up to brake fluid after time, specifically, but how well you clean out the tube after you use it.
I use brake cleaner to hose out the tube(s) after using it, will greatly extend its life. It will...eventually still get hard, but it's many years down the road.
OR, another way of extending the life is keep the tubing submerged in fluid. Example - the short clear tube between the reservoir and the master cylinder on my motorcycles, have stayed fully flexible for 5+ years, and that includes sitting out in the sun all day at work.

Nothing lasts for ever..!

Got 20’ of 5/16-7/16 vinyl hose and s couple #4
screw hose clamps at Lowe’s for about $8.
It was the only material they had in the right size.
Should work, I hope.
