1: You may be able to go to a store and poke through the catalogs or the actual
stock to find a similar hose meant for another car. (But in my experience,
almost
all cars use a larger diameter heater hose.)
2: Go to a good hardware store and find a spring that is a few inches long
and just fits inside the hose. This will keep it from collapsing.
