Default Anyone ever bought a radiator/coolant hose "kit"

I understand there are about 12 hoses for the 4.0L XK8. Anyone know of a kit which has all the hoses?

I have never seen a full kit other than the silicone hose kit from Paragon in the UK.

I just did most of these hoses, I never saw a kit in my travels sourcing all the hoses. I suspect it is not out there. Just go to a site sponsor and tell them you want all the hoses in the cooling system. Tell you now it will not be cheap.

Brings up a good point, Since the early XK8s are approaching 20 years, what is the appropriate time to just replace all the hoses as a preventive maintenance measure? 10 years, 15 years?
