Default Seeking Flexible Radiator Hose - Sydney

Simple enough, I think.

I need a flex hose 32mm ID (inch and a quarter) by 350-450mm long. I’d like to buy it over the counter, tomorrow, at a sane price. Any suggestions on radiator repairers (or even wreckers) in Greater Sydney who might be good for this? Have to loop the cooling system on a car to keep it mobile while waiting on other parts.

Truck suppliers, marine chandlers. Marine sell large size flex hose for wet exhaust. Is that what you mean ?

This kind of thing is ideal:

I note they’re allegedly in stock at Mona Vale. Bankstown area is easier than Northern Beaches for me usually, and it’s where a number of radiator mobs are.
