Anyone know where I might be able to get a 3 piece black silicone kit like this one? I'm running a KA24E and it says for KA24DE but I'm looking for the 3 hoses that go to the KA24E.

If I'm not mistaken there's an upper, lower and then connecting hose from the metal tube where the condenser fan sensor sits in to the radiator. I could just get the upper and lower and then buy a separate silicone hose for the connecting portion. I want to stay OEM to some degree and buying a kit would be easier. Any thoughts would be appreciated, web-links, advice would be great.
silicone hose question
I have some good news for you, and I am going to make fun of you. Friendly warning.
The good news is, that particular hose kit will work for your application. OBX, Agency Power and Mishimoto also offer hose kits with different color options.
Now for me making fun of you. The lower hose on the DE is roughly the same length, and a lot of parts stores show the same part number for that particular hose between the E and DE. Buy the DE hose kit (if it's the only one available in your choice of colors) and simply CUT THE LOWER PORTION OF HOSE THA APPROPRIATE AMOUNT!!! Pretty funny huh? Richard Prior I am not.
Seriously though I ended up going through the same thing a couple of years ago when I upgraded to the Gates Racing hoses.

Ok, fair enough I figured that be the situation I just wanted to make sure as I asked the guys selling the stuff on Ebay and never got a response. A follow up question though, and yes I have tried to look this up, I assume that I'm right again there are more experts out there than me. So can I purchase the silicone radiator hose kit to the 91-94 K24DE? They appear to be similar hoses but I know the intake is at least different from the K24E from the K24DE so I wasn't sure if the upper or lower hoses had a slightly different orientation, etc. I just want to make sure they'll fit the K24E, thanks.
