Bend up a length of coathanger wire into the shape (and length) that you want the top hose to be. Repeat for the lower hose too. Measure the diameter of the radiator inlet and outlet pipes, and the diameter of the pipes on the RB30.

Take the two lengths of wire and notepaper to Supercheap/Autobahn/Repco and have a forage through their hose bins. Don't forget a tapemeasure to check hose diameter. You may get lucky and find a hose that fits, but more likely will find one that needs to be cut down. Sometimes places like Repco store their hoses behind the counter - if you ask nice, they will sometimes let you forage there too.

Cheers,
Harv
