Looking for a set of white or clear radiator hose

The clear hoses I've seen used are the braided pvc hoses found at hardware stores. They seem to change color of whatever coolant you use. Not sure what's the long term life of them. I did see some white/clear ones that a member here had on his drag puma but he said he had fitment or leaking issues. I believe he bought them from RMATV.

Stay away from the braided PVC and vinyl clear hoses. The plastic will not take the heat. They do not hold up when the hot water under pressure flows through them. We have replaced a lot of top ends that got nuked when the hoses failed
