Default Upper Radiator Hose Replacement Problem

Howdy folks.

Ok, so here is my situation. I have a 98 Cherokee, 4 cyl 2.5, manual transmission, A/C. Awhile back, my upper radiator hose broke right near the radiator. At the time, I just cut it and stretched it so I could get home. I left it alone until I had the engine rebuilt, and we went to find a new one. I can't find one anywhere that matches the one that was on it. They are all way way way too short from reaching the radiator. I've not been able to find any parts house that has one, or even one that is close. The one for a 98 6 cyl without A/C, comes close in shape, but again, is far too short. I currently have some spliced in there, but they are leaking and I need to find the right one. The one that all the parts houses show as the right one, doesn't match. Any ideas? I do have a pic I can try to upload if anyone is interested.

Thanks

John

Upload your pic, please, I'm curious now.

You're not driving a right hand drive, are you?

EDIT
I found this on Rock Auto, it looks similar to the upper hose on a 4.0. Is this what you're looking for?

Dayco hose part no. 71278

And here's the 4.0 hose I referred to when looking at the shape.

Dayco hose part no. 71320, and this is not the hose you want.
