Old thread I know but I figured I would add that from my research the hose is made by Dayco and can be found on their site here. Available on Amazon here. Just ordered so I'll have to confirm it's the exact one from the original post when it arrives as there are a mess of different part numbers.

Are you speaking in reference to a radiator with the hose connection coming out from the side instead of facing the engine? If yes, did that hose turn out to be the right one?

Edit - found the thread, looks right to me:

What kind of shipping time? They are on a huge backorder.

If anyone is looking for a single front B8, Amazon has one listed as used and has 20% off the $105 today. I bought a B6 listed as used and it came in all (damaged) packaging, unused.

It's even worse. Bilstein US told me October - November for the B6 HDs P/N 34-000236 to be restocked. See email except below. I just resorted to buying a "used - good" from Amazon Warehouse and a "new - return" from ebay. The only two I could find. I'm kind of stuck after getting the rears in and installed. Hopefully neither is trashed.

From Bilstein:

We have no landed dates on these items at this time only ETA’s. current ETA is October –November. We do not sell direct so please check with one of authorized dealers for their ETA or stock on these items.
