Replacement coolant hoses for 82?
I've upgraded my cooling system with a later new radiator and replaced the rigid lines but the hoses over the engine are patched like Frankenstein at this point. I know the hoses are discontinued and if found cost the price of an overhaul. What are people doing for hose replacement? I can fabricate my own but I'm just wondering if there is a better way.

check Ebay for used hose from Germany
I've seen some items on Ebay that are from scrapped vehicles in Europe, mostly Germany. I'd not hesitate to try the 1.6 Turbo-diesel vanagon used hoses being sold on Ebay from Germany. The cost isn't bad at all to my mind.
