If it's broken completely off, you could just put a piece of 5/16" fuel hose with clamps connecting the two back together for the time being. For new lines, I just get 5/16" brake line and bend to fit. You can get a roll of it or in various lengths. I also use a double-flare on all connections.
If you are looking for pre-bent lines, not sure where to go as I custom bend everything.

Long term you need low pressure hydraulic hose.

There are reasons why Ford used steel tubing for this....

note that they sell "transmission cooler hose" for this application, its rated for 400PSI IIRC. pretty low rating for hydraulic hose, but pretty high rating for something i can trust to a hose clamp. thats the stuff you find from the front end of the steel tube going to the radiator, and we never have problems with them up front

Right, temporary fix only, until you can get if fixed properly.
I had a car years back that the line broke in the dead of winter, and having no garage then, just used trans cooler hose. It was supposed to be temporary, but it lasted for quite a while. Two clamps on each end.
ctubutis - I've had that happen already, but not caused by a hose. Trans blew apart (literally) and had quite the fire (and smoke) show. Luckily I was going fast enough that it didn't light the whole car up.
