Automotive radiato hose

On replacing the water pump seals, I decided I should be replacing the three lower hose pieces; one short and tight radius 90 elbow and two short straight pieces. My buddy looked up the prices from Big K and I want to say the three of them approached $80. So we took the pipes and hoses to O'Reilly and the clerk let us peruse the preformed hose stock he had. We found a piece with the right ID, a tight radius 90, and enough straight to cut out the three pieces we needed. Only cost $27. Boom. Thought I'd share. Unfortunately, I never thought to ask what car this was supposed to be for.

Too bad , this would have been a great add to the common parts list . If you still have the piece with the tag on it that info could be found .
