Radiator Hose Protector

I have a lower hose that is making contact with the end of a bolt. I think it will eventually lead to a leak. I need to put something around the hose to protect it and I was curious what creative ideas you have on how to do this. Something from the hardware store? Some sort of round clamp? My searches haven't come up with too much.

I have seen these things online, but I was thinking something smaller and maybe something that I could pick up locally at a store.

Why not just cut a section of scrap radiator hose, split it lengthwise and place it over the hose?

Corrugated plastic drain hose from Home Depot. Split it lengthwise so you can slip it over the hose, then secure with zip ties.
