You are in luck--the list of hoses is not in my Syncro at the
shop, but in my garage where I unloaded everything before
giving it up for the conversion.

Here are the four hoses:
025 121 058D    oil cooler to pipe leading to thermostat housing
025 121 058J    oil cooler to small pipe to waterpump
251 121 072A    S shaped hose, coolant dist or R head (Syncro)
025 121 058G    waterpump to small pipe to oil cooler

The one that failed was "G" (I think) or else "J"  The other
three spares are for sale--except to Tom Hargrave.  ;-)
