I've got an MR2 pump. Don't use fuel line hose. I don't think it would last very long, because I know someone who once lost a finger to the damage caused by a high pressure stream of hydraulic fluid! Granted, it was on a tractor, but it put high pressure fluid fear into me!
Let's get back to the pump. A good neighbor took the PS parts in need of connection to a truck/industrial equipment repair shop and they immediately found what was needed. Perhaps you can do the same? Look into Parker Fluid Connectors. That's what the industrial guys sent home to plumb the Toyota pump into my Mazda hoses. I can't give you a full part number, but mine begins with "8M16".

The junkyard option didn't seem like a good one, since the hoses usually have factory bends and twists already in them. (I need a fairly long straight run.) Most power steering/transmission cooler lines are 3/8". One of the autoparts guys said fuel line hose would work for oil as well... It was just the water only line that would degrade rapidly.
