Kinked hose solution?

So I was watching powerblock last weekend and they showed a part that goes over rubber tubing and allows you to bend the tube without kinking it like rubber non pre bent tube does.

Question does anyone know were you can buy this type of part? they said at car part stores but before i go looking there is there any online site you can go through?

Thanks for the help

I've seen a part similar to that used on the mig welder output from the welder. Just an idea.

springs might work depending on the hose size

Ok so i found exactly what i was looking for today. They are called Unicoils and i found them at my local auto store B&B. http://www.gates-unicoil.com/ check this out they are pretty cool for custom hose work. My use for them is with my 3.4 swap and coolant lines.
