Default Water hose

Right,

i've removed the std water / oil cooler from the engine and fitted a stand alone oil cooler.

This leaves me with the water pipes to sort out. I know that i can run the hose from the rear of the head (above blue coolant sensor) to the heater matrix and that will be job done but do i just cut and bend the hose to fit or dose anyone make a hose especially for this that i can buy?

Cheers

Paul.
