3vzfe SW20 radiator hoses?

Nearing the completion of my 3vz conversion i am struggling to track down the last radiator hose.

The above guide recommends using the hose from a Cadillac but being an American part has caused some issues with local sourcing.
Are there any Australia friendly alternatives to this part?

    Flick Jaemus a PM, he did the first conversion here in Australia. Think I remember him saying he went into a supplier and they just looked through the rack for the most likely candidate. He's very helpful.

    I used flexi hose on my conversion. I had a temp sensor adaptor so I just joined the flexi adaptor on the end to make up the rest of the distance.

    Thanks everyone for your help, luckily I was able to track down the Cadillac hose for a reasonable price.
