Looking for all the radiator hoses for AAZ, particularly the hard ones to install WP to Oil cooler

Pressurized, and I saw a bubble, time for new parts. >:( 8)

Now tell me how to order them.  The Samba URLs don't work to order.

BEE GEE:
Really like the hoses. 
First, I like the way the area around the oil filter has so much more room.  Being able to change a filter without pushing back hose is nice.
Second, the clamps are effective, wide and really clamp well.  The silicone hose compresses to give a good seal.  I have a pressure tester, so I ran the pressure up double the cap release and it held steady after a couple of good runs and clamp rechecks. 
Thirdly, since I bought the red hoses, when you open the hood, the hoses jump out visually against my black engine.

It is nice to have confidence in your little truck.  I was looking for a car to buy for long trips, and ran over two or three states looking for a Volvo S80 for myself.  I had numerous trips near 700 miles each.  I have the Scirrocco aluminum race radiator with the bottom inlet on the drivers side, to make room in the area around the AC compressor.  My temperature gage stayed near center if I stayed below 70, and barely went right of center if I ran 80-85 with traffic.
