So.....anyone know where this coolant hose might be available?

I cut the hose with a single edge razor blade to remove it from the Heater Core.....thinking it was readily available
10257254 GM NLA but Gates 19743 is likely still available. You might see if a local can change either to Dayco or Goodyear. Amazon should be good for the 19743. The Amazon image doesn't display the larger ID on the short leg so I'd maybe be skeptical and try local but it's a competitive change.

This might be a harder find but does display the larger diameter on the short leg, Continental Elite 64304. Amazon even shows a single of this available. Actually all Goodyear product could be possibly rebranded as Continental Elite including even the "Gatorback" belt product line.
