coolant hoses?

I honestly havent started even looking at the local parts stores, but how are my chances of finding the upper and lower radiator hoses at the local Auto Zone?
If they dont have the REPU part, are there any RX7 or other rotary hoses that match or are at least close enough?
thanks

I replaced the upper and lower hose on my 1975 about a month ago. I got the hoses at Advance Auto Parts. I had to cut one hoses to fit but it was an exact match. They made the hose about 6 inches longer then I needed. I was also able to get the thermostat their. I made my own thermostat gasket from gasket material. I just traced the old one and use a utility knife.

I got both upper and lower from Kragen. I went to the isle with all the hoses and got generic hoses with the spring in upper and lower. Even found a radiator -> heater pipe L hose that fit. Just check the diameter and length and go shopping. I think it's 1.5" Dia. Be sure to use new clamps.

I got mine at carquest. Same thing about cutting the one hose. It is a "generic" rotary hose, with a bit extra to fit other models. Still a good fit.
