Radiator Hose Substitution?

Hi Guys,

I just swapped out my transmission and I'd like to change out my radiator hoses before I button everything up. Is there a modern hose I can reference when I go in to Advance Auto to get a substitute for the vertical hose on a downflow radiator?

I have a friend who just brings his old hose with him - microcars - and talks them into letting him look at the rack of hoses. he then compares till he finds one or piece of one
 
The biggest problem is that no other hoses in most inventories have the little hose coming off to take the flow from the heater box. Other may fit, I don't know, but they won't have that. If you don't need your heater, you can turn off the tap and be OK, otherwise.....

MO#$ .. BUT


Victoria British has them KEVLAR reinforced for a couple of dollars more. Well worth it IHMO.
