need heater hose

I have 87 cherokee with closed coolant system. I am having problem finding heater hose that goes from the tee ' 5/8"' to the bottom of coolant reservoir "3/4"'. Anyone know where this hose is available? Thanx

D@ave, now is a good time to think about converting to the open system used in the later Cherokees.

There are a few ways to do this. How old is your current radiator?

And ditch the heater control valve.
