Hey mate,

Try The Spare Place in Adelaide. I know that they have a lot of out of the ordinary bits.

Ph (08) 8212 3505. No affiliation, just 40 years as a happy customer.

Cheers

Maybe this has what you need:

Might take a while to arrive from the UK.

I can't tell which hoses you need from the pics, but often shaped / formed hoses of smaller diameter can just be replaced with generic hose cut to length.

Over the years I've made a number of complex shaped hoses out of several simple curved and straight bits cobbled together from cannibalised bits of other hoses, joined together with short lengths of metal tube and hose clamps. None of these Frankenhoses has ever failed, they are as reliable as any other hose. I have one such on the 147 now, been on it for several years.

Regards,
John.

Some hoses from the 3.2 GT might fit?  At least those that start and end at the engine.

Don't discount asking Repco, Sparesbox etc.
