Agreed. (The right) molded hoses would help a lot. But as with filters, hose applications may depend upon whether or not the engine is a two cylinder or a three.
I replaced all three of my Y385 hoses from the meager inventory my NAPA store keeps on hand. All three hoses were too long, and had to be cut to fit. They only had a 17" FF233 Flex-Hose in stock, and I had to cut off an inch from either end. If they had a 15" it would have saved me a little work. A 777 replaced the one between the radiator and the thermostat housing. I had to cut a couple inches off the thermostat end. A 7296 replaced the bypass, after taking about 3/4" off it as well.
While the subject is on the table, I highly recommend replacing the Asian clamps as well. All three hoses came t0 $19.93 before tax, and I already had a clamp supply.
