It would certainly be easier than someone trying to describe the shape of a hose on a forum!

You could make up the hose with lengths of universal heater hose, and elbows like these:

Or even plumbing fittings, wouldn't look 'factory' but would be functionally OK.

What price do you want to pay as this is clearly the priority. We've already identified a supplier of hoses for you, but you seem reluctant to use this supply, I presume on cost grounds?

Have you looked at your private messages for any other suggestions? I've sent you two messages but had no response, perhaps you are not aware of the message system.

Andy, in my experience getting a single hose copied is quite expensive, around £100 per hose up to about 1 foot long. By the time you've got these two hoses copied, you could have bought a full 16v set
