Cloth-covered radiator hoses?

[iota]

I know some vendors sell the U20's upper and lower radiator hoses (the big ones) in the original woven cloth-wrapped style.

But I have yet to find anyone selling the water pump-to-intake-manifold-pipe hose for Mikuni cars (which is probably 5/8 or 3/4" ID and a few inches long)

Does anyone know where to find that hose, or even just regular coiled hose that looks similar?

Thanks! I actually have a functional rubber hose in there right now, was just trying to dress it up to match the other cloth hoses

The cloth covered hoses were made in different local s in Asia and the reinforcements added in rubber varied greatly , the rayon cloth outside was added to use them with good results , they're 50 + yrs old
I think we soaked on in hot water that let you slip it off and on ...another te h did it

If you just want to dress it up, this should be OK to take some heat.
