Mine has an alloy joiner about 6-8 inches long joining the hose at the plastic water rail to the hose at the radiator. Then it doesnt matter if you cant source the correct hose

That's because the previous owner of that engine had it bodged due to time and lazyness, still worked though lol

I used my tigra hose also, was a tad too short but got it fitted and has held ever since
