Default Best online source for the upper radiator hose "T" and the plastic bumper trim clips

I need to internet/mail order the upper radiator hose "T" with the bleed screw (my screw is leaking) and also need the plastic clips that hold the rear bumper trim bezel onto the rear quarter panels. Who has the best price on these items?

I ordered mine from Miami British back in the summer but i later found out i should of just gone through Ebay. The hose kit I ordered was supposed to be made by 'All Makes' and what i got was a URO upper hose and the rest were made by 'All Makes'. Kinda felt ripped off since ebay sells the URO hoses supper cheap.

Atlantic British and Rovers North are very good in my experience.

Is the hose bad, or is the screw broken? The screw is easily replaced by a brass plug and Teflon Tape from Home Depot.

Allmakes supplies URO parts if they do not manufacture it themselves.

I tapped in one of those ice box shut offs, so that I could attach a length of hose for no mess bleeding.. Standard thread for such is 1/8-27
