my radiator man said when ready the easiest way is to get some heavy wire and bend and shape it around everything you want it to miss. Then take taht in to compare to books.

I did what Fred said with the wire and took it into Supercheap, they had a shelf full of loose hoses and I rummaged thru them til I found something to suit. I ended up using a Nissan Pintara R31 hose( Mackey # CH1564) but I have a HQ radiator so may be different for you. Hope this helps, Cheers, Jack
