If it is just the hoses going from the engine to the firewall, just go to home depot, lowes, or other hardware center and get some heater hose like you would use on a household hot water heater in the same diameter as the hoses on your car and some hose clamps. It has to be the redish colored heater hose that is rated for high temp. Just cut to length and clamp it on in the stock locations.
