It doesn't have to be as hard as mail order, etc. When I first got my car, I
pulled the old hoses. That included one replaced with a fitsall bendable
house (a terrible idea for cooling). With the shapes in hand, I went down to
the
local AutoZone where they let me walk around the hose section. In five
minutes I had matched up the historic bad hoses with "portions" of other hoses
in
stock. I bought the oversize stock non-Tiger hoses, cut off the excess, and
was done. All heater hose, bent hose at firewall, and top, top, and bottom on
radiator for less than $35.00.
I learned this trick on my long gone (dead) Jaguar XJS. The full replacement
hoses at the Jaguar dealer were $413.00. (One stupid double bend 3/4 x 9"
section of heater hose was $42.00 by itself). AutoZone set me back $56.00.
