Random question here - did you have to use a heat gun on the lever side when installing the hose?
I have to run new lines, and the caliper side is straightforward.
The lever side, not so much...

No, just a lot of force. Because it's so thick, I wonder if a heat gun would even work.
Good thought though. Heat the whole length and make it easier to work with.

You should be able to get hose at any mountain bike shop.

I found some instructions for another model of the brakes (http://www.magura.com/...genbremsen_2010E.pdf)
They caution against a heat gun. Force is the preferred method...
Looks like you made the right call!

"To do this clamp the hose as shown with the help of the two clamping jaws into a vice. 1,5 cm of the hose have to stick out of the clamp. Use a nylon mallet to tap the barbed fitting into the tubing. The barbed fitting must be installed as shown. Never use a lighter or a heatgun to soften the hose."
