If you can't find the hose any other way, just go to your local generic parts
store and ask to look at the preformed hoses. I've found some great fits on
funny hoses that waay.

Subject: brake questions, and others
A few questions from a weekend of remove, clean, and replace.
When I replaced my rear brake shoes, I noticed the pads were bonded offset
towards one end of the shoe. So then when I looked at the two sets of shoes
installed (right side vs left), one had a small gap (~2") between the pads
on the top, and ~5" on the bottom, while the other side had the gaps approx.
evenly spaced. I wasn't sure, so I switched one shoe on each side, so that
the gaps were pretty even top-to-bottom (unclear yet?). Does it really
make any difference?
Also, the L-shaped hose that connects water pump to intake manifold. Can
this be acquired by asking for an L-series part? It is too tight of a bend
for a straight hose.
