Brake Hose Help?

Hi

Want to replace the brake hose tubing from the reservoir to the front brake.
Just wondered if anybody else has done this and where i can get the cotton braided hose from. Tried searching the internet and really struggling to find it.
I have the measurements down as I.D 7mm and O.D 13mm (would like 13mm so i can use the original clips)
Does this have to be special hose as well so as to not deteriorate from the brake fluid

Original part is discontiniued.

You can get many aftermarket ones though in either braided or plain.

Any decent bike shop should be able to sort you out with something.
