M715 ORIGINAL 230 TORNADO ENGINE !

Thought I had a stash of these parts but if I do I cant find them (figures) anyway I need a source for the coolant hose thats on the passenger side of the engine block that goes from engine block to rear of timming cover, it has about a 45 degree bend made in it and its about 6-10" total in length ( Dont even know what to call this hose ). I also need a source for thermostat housing gaskets. I know I can make or make due these 2 parts but nothing fits and works like the parts that are made for certain applications. I,ve tried all my local auto parts places and none have any listings. if anybody has any part numbers and places to buy these and will share it I,d really appreciate it.

The thermostat gasket is same as M38A1 Jeep, lots of the army jeep suppliers have those. On the hose, even if you find a NOS one it will be too old. I just bring the old one in to my local auto parts and find a pre-formed hose that has a 45 in it and cut to fit.
