Heater hoses for 1JZ-GTE and Thermostat replacement?

I'm wondering where I can get new heater hoses for my car? It spouted a little hole and started squirting rad fluid all over my engine bay..

Also wondering if anyone has changed the thermostat? I can't find it.. lol

is this a true rhd soarer? or a swap? your more than likely going to have to custom build your own heater hoses. youll need either 5/8" or 16mm hose

the thermostat is in the housing that the lower radiator hose connects to. Its above the alternator

same, there is nothing that will fit directly for heater hoses. It doesn't cost much, but they are a ***** to get to...good luck

It's a true RHD Soarer. There's no LHD Soarers to my understanding? lol

Thanks for the diagram, I'm going to see if I can replace it tomorrow.
