Is there a special type of hose for the brake servo or will a standard hose do the job if fits?

any hose will be fine, there is not a great deal of pressure

Sorry Leigh, me old buddy, would tend to disagree with that. There may not be a lot of "vacuum" but you should really make sure that a reinforced hose is used to prevent it from collapsing especially when under bonnet temperatures may soften the material. I use a silicone hose with a wire helix.

We had a thread about this a while back .. advice was to avoid silicon stuff as it collapses easier when hot. Especially the single wall type.
