What are sizes used? Sources with links will be appreciated.

I just went through this. Some hoses can be replaced with generic hoses, and if you're on a budget, that's the way to go.
I tried doing that in a few spots, and it looked horrible. Most Toyota hoses are preformed, and generic hoses won't have that shape. And to make things worse, many of them are different diameters on the two ends.
I just ordered about 15 OEM hoses from Amayama. Some are dirt cheap (at least in my book), under $5 each. A couple were pushing $20 each, one was $40. I grimaced, then hit the "Buy" button - buy once cry once. Overall it was about $200-300 bucks - not chump change, but worth it (to me) to keep it looking good.
But I'm the wrong guy to ask if cost is an issue, I'm about to take a bunch of bolts and brackets to a plating shop to have replated.
