Or make your own..........

The MacKay hose kit is two hoses contained in an oblong sheath so the installer won't cross them when connecting to the heater coil stubs. The left side stub (US driver's side) connects to the hose which exits the engine beneath the temperature sensor. The right side stub connects to the hose which exits the engine beneath the thermostat. The engine end connections on the MacKay kit are unusual for both but you can easily splice into your old hoses.
I measured the O.D. of the hoses at 1-1/8 inch to have the right hose clamps, but I didn't measure the I.D. Short pieces of new heater hose, two barbed fittings, and new clamps will accomplish what you want.
You can also try Jim Ellis Saab in Atlanta (they have an internet parts store) and http://www.saabpartsonline.com (Flow Saab from Winston-Salem NC) as they both offered this same part for sale when I bought mine two months ago. You can search for my previous posts to learn the P/N as I can't remember it.
