I noted that one of these Prestone flush kits was installed on Grey Ghost by the PO. No trouble, in fact I just did a total coolant flush last week with it...pretty neat. An OEM hose bent the right way is of course the best way to go, but if you wish to substitute, you could do a Home Depot special by sweating some copper pipe, a Tee, and fittings ending in a bronze male hose bib, with cap and washer. Just make it look like the Prestone assembly.
The thread postings respond to several replacement solutions. I mentioned the plastic assemby in mine works fine and stays dry. I would take a moment and try to determine how yours failed. Overtightening of the hose clamps could do it. Maybe you have excessive engine wobble that could have fatigued to failure what might have been already poorly installed. Check your engine mounts and shocks.
Good luck.
