Just go to your local auto supplier and see what they have that will work, i think i used a bottom ford xd from memory on mine.
You could always cut up some bends and make your own up joining them with pipe etc
Rad hose.

Hey pal, here is a pic of what I did on mine. I'm using the standard 2.8D radiator. I can't remember which outlet i had swapped over to the other side to do it this way and it helps being a Sheety to do it like this too, but you should be able to either use exhaust pipe or I think there is universal flexible hose too. I believe "V6 hilux" off here has a fairly simple set up for his also.
Cheers.

just to let you all know, i took the advice and went looking, found the xf hose, considered it and then spied a nissan pulsar lower hose (i think) and it fits perfectly through the gap.
sadly i now have a nissan part on my toyota
