    brake hose

    First of all, that hose is WAY too short as I am sure you can see which has led to its failure. Bring the hose to your FLAPS and get it matched up to get a longer one. Might as well replace the other hose on the front and the rear hose as well while you are at it.

    The numbers and letters seem to be very easy to read on your present hose so google this and see if it gives the specs such as length and end sizes. Then do a search for one that has the same ends but is 2 or 3 inches longer. You could also go to Rock Auto and type the numbers into their parts search which will give the hose application and specs. As a last resort you could move the hose bracket attached to the frame down a couple inches and run a longer steel line to it which should give you enough slack to use the present hoses. Finally, and more expensive, contact Inline Tube or other braided steel brake line hose makers and they will tell you what they need from you to make up a set of hoses to your specs.
