Looks like I'm needing to replace upper and lower hoses.  Any suggestions on part numbers needed and best place to order (cheapest and fastest shipping) are appreciated.

Edit:  Found 'em at Procaliber.com

Procaliber slightly less, BUT they wanted around $20 for shipping.  I'm holding off until I can get to that upper hose clamp screw.  I pulled the radiator forward but that hose clamp screw is angled just out of my reach.  Need a flex bit driver extension and I may be able to get to it...

Replacing because?

Most have reported finding the hose leak a little, and after re-tightening the clamp, no more leak.

I would rather remove entirely, clean the fitting surface, a little lube (spit on it or a little soap), and re-attach.
