I went to Advance Auto parts and found appropriate hoses to replace the front
radiator hoses with flex hoses, one has to have a ninety degree bend at one
end.  Nothing spectacular about them but much more reasonably priced than the
specific hose application.  Also, I tend not to shop at Auto Zone because the
clerks there tend to be as rude as can be and are poorly trained to do anything
other than read a computer catalog and pull the part numbers indicated,
