I prefer silicone hoses for the radiator to water pump hoses. The silicone hoses are flexible so installing them is not the fight that you have with original type. Silicone hoses are also durable, they get used by the modern performance car crowd for turbo hoses and radiator hoses. I got a pair from that auction site and used them on my dad's 46 sedan. It was so much better than the original type that I got two more and used them for my 38.

That probably depends on how much offset you need. I did a quick search on that auction site and found some listings for 1-3/4" ID offset silicone hose. I would measure what you need and see if there is something close enough to work: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nk...offset+silicone+hose+black&_osacat=0&_ipg=240
