A couple of mine have cracks as well, and I also used the electrical
tape fix :-) I've decided to stay with the electrical tape for a
little while; it turns out that each hose costs between $25 and $35,
depending on where you go. This seems outrageous to me for a 2 inch
piece of rubber. Even for a British car.
Here are the places that said they had them or could order them (there
is an aftermarket manufacturer [didn't get the name, but I think they
are in New York], so you can still order new parts):
British Motorsports (new & used parts)
1143 Dell Ave, Campbell, CA
(408) 370-7174
East 14th St. Auto Wreckers (used parts)
16552 East 14th St., San Leandro, CA
(415) 278-6300
Triumph Specialty (new & used)
991 Berryessa Rd., San Jose, CA
(408) 453-4011
Hope this helps!
