Where to get TB coolant hose?

So I changed out all my hoses this weekend, and for the life of me, I can't find any hose that I can use for the 2 TB coolant lines. The 3/8" hose Autozone sent me was too small, 1/2" heater hose was a little too big. Tried some 15/32" fuel line hose, which was about the right size, but it can't make that sharp near 90 degree bend without kinking. I have no idea what to use now, anyone know?

they should be premolded hoses for too much $$$. You could always do the bypass for cheaper if you want.

I may have to go with the bypass. I can't find any P/N for the pre molded hoses. I could try the dealership I suppose.

these are the small hoses & should come up when looking up under radiator hoses.

I'm pretty sure those 2 are the "question mark" hoses that connect to the heater core at the firewall. I had ordered all my hoses online thru Autozone, and those P/N's were on the list. The TB coolant hose they gave me was a length of "cut to fit" straight hose but its was 3/8" ID IIRC and was too small.
