Corvette specific. Most preformed hoses are. Your other option may be to purchase one of the flexible chromed, copper radiator hose kits and use that. Coolflex is what I'm talking about. look at these.

Try to contact a GM dealer somewhere in the world and order a Corvette original one.

Are you talking about the hose to the throttle body ??? It attaches to the radiator at the top right of the radiator It is a thinner hose than the two main radiator hoses ...

12557352 would be the part number. GM list price is USD 35.62

I'd call either

http://www.gmpartshouse.com

or

http://www.gmpartsdirect.com

and see about getting an international shipment ..... don't know about the South Pacific, but in Europe Caddilac dealers can order Corvette parts .... maybe a Holden dealer can order the part for you with the above number (The Monaro, as I'm sure you know, also uses the LSx engine) ???
