Any source for these, other than GM?

Working on someone's car, and just trying to find one. Don't want to give away my stash. And don't want to go flex-hose. That's what several places are trying to guide me to. I know its a pretty unique part.

What about the "S" hose from the upper manifold to the back of the water pump? Can't seem to find that anywhere, either? GM, or any other P/N's?

Yep...a GM hose. I can get the GM ones for a decent price. Trying to see if there is any aftermarket alternative.

I am aware the gbodyparts.com pipe/hose combo as well.

This one is from Advance. An E71755. Ordered it up. We'll see how it fits. Its TR specific, and not the same as the NA V6.

It appears to be an exact match. Made in Mexico, for those who are keeping track. Lists for about $13.50. A good option for those that aren't picky about OEM parts and want to save a few bucks. Looks to be of good quality.

Have a pic of them sitting side by side. However, the pic is on "Electra Jim"s camera, so I can't get it right now. Trust me when I say its an exact match. Manufacterer is "Drive-Rite". May be available at other chains.
