Good idea! Might do something like that myself.

I have done a quick drawing on a napkin, so I have some dimensions to work with.... Now I need some time!

I think this is the one you are thinking of:
Improved Bottom Radiator Hose Land Rover Discovery 1 300TDi 1994 to 1999

That one looks to have plastic reinforcement in the joints , and does look good - I believe Loanrangie was talking about metal replacements for the T pieces. Maybe I misunderstood.

PCH119060 | 300TDI Bottom Hose


Although the pic shows vulcanized it is actually plastic T pieces.
I didn't think you could buy vulcanized anymore.


This is what they look like

No thats not it, it was a hose kit that used fittings with clamps and separate hoses - i think the joiners were plastic.
