WTB: '92-'93 HEATER HOSES (Quick-Connect type)

Hi folks. I'm in need of a set of heater hoses for my '92 OCC. The ones I need would be from a '92 or '93 Caprice wagon or sedan, '92 or '93 Roadmaster wagon, or a '93 Roadmaster sedan. All '91 B-bodies and the '92 RMS setup uses a bypass valve, and as I just found out, one of the heater core pipes is a different size on the '92-'93! It may be possible that only some early '92 RMS's use the hoses with the bypass, I just know I can't use anything with a bypass in it. What I need is the setup that is two separate hoses, with an inline restrictor, and with Quick-Connect ends on the heater core attaching side. Post here or PM me if you've got 'em. Thanks guys!

Why not buy new hoses?

Because I don't want to spend $151.16 plus tax. Just called the dealer and got the prices for both those hoses.

No, those are the '94-'96 style hoses. Way different. Here's a pic of one of the ones I need. This is the hose that goes from the rad to the heater core in the '92-'93s

I understand.

Found these 2 on ebay. Only the feed from the engine, there were a bunch of molded hoses that might fit for the return.

For the return, there is a 1992 at my local pick n pull. I could grab that return hose and then you could rebuild it with a new hose and connector? Any shop that can crimp AC lines should be able to do the same with the heater hose.

I'll see what I can turn up. The dealer wants $97 for the hose that goes from the engine to the core, and $53 for the return to the radiator. Go figure the short hose is almost double the price. Ideally I would like to find a clean used set, and just plug it in. The rubber on mine was in good shape at 20 years old when I broke the connector off it, so I'd be fine with a used set. I never drive the OCC in cold weather, so I never bothered to fix it until now, and I found the '91 9C1 set I had grabbed from like 2 years ago won't fit. Just think how many times I've passed up correct sets in the yard since then... ugh...

Oooops. My bad. I was looking at the. 92-93 hoses then clicked on these and for whatever reason pasted THIS link. I hope you find what you're looking for without a second mortgage.
