I went to the auto parts store and got some stuff that's close enough. It works, but it doesn't fit QUITE perfectly. One of these days when I have some spare cash I'll buy the real thing from Mazdatrix.

Yeah, I went to Autozone and convinced them to let me look through what they had in the back. Found a few with the right bends and used a pvc connector in one spot to get it right. IIRC the Stealership wanted like 20 bucks per hose, and I had to wait for them to order them.
Just make damn sure that there are no kinks in them!!! The ones to the oil cooler especially...

Will hoses off an 85 12a work?
I just replaced mine when I replaced the O rings on the oil cooler. The leak from the oil cooler had just started, thus had not damaged the hoses. Bought the replacement hoses from a local Mazda dealer before I started disassembling the oil cooler. The old hoses look almost new (they are original equipment on a 85 with 59K). The hoses looked good enough that I would not have changed them had I not already bought new ones. Thus I now have an extra set.
