Thumbs up Coolant Hose Elbows n Bends

This is in the nature of FYI if you're looking for this stuff...

On a number of occasions in the past I have looked for a neat solution to routing my radiator hoses.

Mostly I did this by cutting up hoses from various production models - and bemoaning the lack of standard 'bends' at auto parts stores - like you can get from exhaust shops when you want to make up your exhaust.

Anyway - I found RP Wallis Spareco Exports | RP Wallis Wholesale
(no affiliation)

Even though they say on their site that they're a wholesaler they will retail and they also do counter sales. Each of the blokes who served me on successive days, as I went back for a variety of items, was very helpful.

I ended up buying a number of their own brand silicon hose product and they were very easy to fit/cut/join etc.

Below are some images of stuff they have that was very useful - they also have fuel fill hose and a buch of other stuff - worth a look through if your'e building/renovating your car.
