some of the early buses had a blue colored fabric covered hose. Most late bays use a plastic hose. It requires special plastic clamps and there is a rubber insert at each end of the hose that can go bad or the reservoir can crack. If you have the clear plastic hose, order the rubber inserts for it and a set of new plastic clamps. Also order a replacement reservoir. Examples below.

If you do you will still need the rubber things that go inside each end as well as good plastic clamps.
