Upper hose part # is 1257347 https://www.gowestyautoparts.com/OEM...search=1257347
Lower hose part # 1257992 https://www.gowestyautoparts.com/OEM...search=1257992
Unfortunately the rad hoses are the only ones available aftermarket for D24 and D24T, as far as I have seen. The smaller dia. hose from the expansion tank to the cold tank of the rad is the same as used on gasser and is also available, but heater hoses are from Volvo only.

Man, George, that is some great news. I anticipated that those hoses would cost a small gold mine!

The rear cylinder head coolant bung is something I'd like a permanent fix to. Admittedly I've never poked around back there so that's my first step.
