Volvo Penta MD22P-B Hose

[nigelmercier]

I have just reorganised my alternator belts, see http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?429462

In doing so, I wanted to swivel a hose that goes to the calorifier as it appeared that it connected to another hose (from the fresh water pump) via a T-piece. However, after removing the Jubilee Clips, I discovered that although the hose has an insert, the joint is continuous, see pictures:

However, the diagram on Marine Parts Europe shows a hose in several sections: http://www.marinepartseurope.com/en/volvo-penta-explodedview-7746710-26-2900.aspx

It looks to me as if the hose has already been swivelled (in the direction I want to go) for the initial install of the alternator, I would like to swivel it just a bit more.

I'm a bit concerned about the state of the take-off on this hose, what do the experts think?
I assume I could get hoses from another source, without the marine upgrade? Any suggestions?

I was looking at buying a spare, (the water pump I bought, I bought the short one above it because my mate said its impossible to change unless you remove the pump)
I saw silicon hoses in kit car spares places. Those would do it, but they aint cheap. The one we have in ours, I think we could cut them and take the joining piece out.
