WANTED - top radiator hose

Hi

I'm looking for a good secondhand replacement top radiator hose for a '91 ES. It has the electric water pump so needs the integral T joint.

I think the part number is 3450053.

Thanks, I'm near Worcester, can collect if close by.

Chris

Seems a bit odd as the cur...
