Help!! Need a Canadian Mini Lower Raditator Hose!!

Is there a difference between the Canadian and UK version? I know are Radiators are different.
I just noticed the lower hose has a leak at top by the block. It's weather worn and cracking at the clamp.

Anyone know where I can find a new one?

Top hose was easy, matched it up to another at an Autoparts store. Don't think i'll be as lucky with the bottom.

Thanks

After further inspection I found another tiny hose that connect from the engine block to the head on the back side near the Lower radiator hose mount at the top.

It's also leaking.

Figured it out, it's the waterpump bypass hose. Next question, Can I use a plug or do I need a new hose. I can get both

I found it in my Haynes Manual. I found out the only hose that's really different is the upper hose because our cap is at the opposite end and the elbow faces forward. However I found one that matched that had to have an inch cut off at an Autoparts store for $4.00.

I'll be working on it tommorow. I also have the rear hose on order as well.
Pretty soon just about everything will be new.
