85 Volvo 240 PS questions

I need to replace the hoses for my PS soon (they've rubbed against each other, and one seems to have the ATF seeping through it), but I'm having a heck of a time figuring something out.

The problem is, one local auto store has the 3/8th inch hose I need, but not the 5/8th inch hose.

A lot of the sites Ive checked reference the pressure hose (which I don't really need to change) and only 1 other hose.

My question is, what kind of hose can I use for the hoses? Instead asking for a "power steering hose for an 85 Volvo" etc, could I ask for another hose instead?

What are the 2 hoses that come off of the reservoir for? I mean, I know they're for the PS, but one goes directly to the pump and the other goes down to something close to the drivers side tire.

(here is a picture of the reservoir)

5/8" fuel line should work fine, it's stocked at Schucks near me.

Some NAPA auto parts stores used to specialize in custom-made hydraulic hoses. Hopefully some still do.
