your local Ace hardware or just about any auto-part store should have them, these are regular coolant hoses cut to size.

I'm afraid I can't tell from the picture exactly which hoses you're talking about.

Sorry....... There are 2 hoses coming off the left side of the injector thermostat housing and one off the right lower side of the injector body. The 4th hose is a cooling that comes from the heater core at the fire wall on the driver's side. It goes down 45* the turns and goes to the block. This is a formed hose.
Thanks.....

Steve,
Check with local NAPA, or CarQuest...most stock preformed heater hoses that should match. Found mine @ CarQuest.

The two hoses to the left of the thermostat are cooling water hoses, and are just standard size hoses cut to fit (but the hose by the meter from the local MB dealer). The bottom hose is not cooling water, but air inlet. There has been some mention on the site about this special hose marking (which is not available) I think it is the same size as the heater hose. The fourth one is going to the head (from the heater) and depending on the car, may or may not be a special "formed"hose. On my 250 SL it is just a piece of hose cut to fit.
