Well, the job is done. It was really easier said than done though. Those old hoses were really tough to get out, but finally I just made a longitudinal cut on each end (this takes a bit of carefulness since the pipes could get damaged if one's not careful, but takes some force too because those are really tough hoses). I got a 300 PSI rated hose with flame resistant cover. Don't remember the brand and it's not clear from the hose itself, but looks and feels tough enough. Made in the U.S of A too, no cheap chinese noodles here. I took it around the mountains on some good steep climbs to test it and the hoses and pipes were clean after that. Here's pics of the end result:
