Yes, but I would recommend against getting it in silicone. Silicone is not designed to work with petroleum products, and they will sweat. I would recommend getting new OEM.

What would the sweating cause? Is it the fluid that's being sweated out?

The fluid slowly makes its way through the hose. I'd ask Z1 if they're hose has the Nomex® (Aramid) multi-ply reinforcement required to use silicone with oil products. I know their new generation of oil hoses do, not sure about their PS hoses. And since you use ATF in our PS systems, same rules apply
