This hose popped on me in the middle of  B.F.Egypt on a Sunday!  Went
into a small ma-n-pa hardware store and purchased  a small length of 3/4"
radiator hose, an assortment of galvanized  pipes, reducers and elbow. I
was promptly on my way. The contraption still survives on my engine many
years later. I have lately added a tee and pressure gauge at this spot.

Good Luck and Drive Safely
