Default Coolant hose from TB to 'T'

The small coolant hose going from the drivers side of the throttlebody to the metal T (believe it puts coolant to the heads?) is leaking, and since the nipple on the end of the T is so small, autopart stores don't have something to fit it snug.

Called Munday Chevy near me, they apparently have 1 left in stock, but it includes the T for like $55.......

Any suggestions? I couldn't find the hose or part on gmpartsdirect.com

Man, that sucks. Its one of those hard to come by parts that are friggin expensive.

Maybe junk yards that have an LSx car/truck sitting around.....will still have that part sitting on the engine.

Thats where I'd start.

Sounds like it's time for the bypass job.
