Just discovered my upper hose is leaking right at the 45 degree plastic part. I have a Motorcraft coming but was thinking if there might be an alternative...Jaguar? Or even something like this if the center portion was aluminum.

What was the Motorcraft part number for this?
 
I think I just got the last one Rockauto had in stock. Remarkably, I ordered this yesterday and it got here today. I think it was in their SoCal warehouse. Motorcraft parts are becoming more and more unobtanium, hence my question of suitable alternatives.

The closest parts I've found that almost match are Jaguar XR81725 and KS85T9 for the 1999-2002 4.0L S-Type, but the fitting is a tee instead of a wye. Haven't found an aluminum equivalent yet, but I'll keep looking
 
There is somebody supposedly making aluminum coolant parts for the LS. He (or she) is advertising them in the LS section.

However... I don't think they are cheap.
