I went down to NAPA and bought two 3 or 4 foot sections of great quality hoses.  I could tell you the exact part number when I get home if you need it. This past weekend, I was chopping it into small enough sizes to allow me to double-clamp each side.  I ran out of clamps and need 20 more to complete it. A quick mental count says I needed 58 clamps in all for the size under the car, 2 for a size bigger at the water pump, 4 for the heater hose connection between the overflow and swirl tanks, and one for the overflow smaller line.  That did not include the heater hoses and heater shutoff valves.

That's a lot of clamps, but I will never be stranded for lack of them :)
