Thinking about it, I wonder if it would be possible to cobble something more durable together from off the shelf parts like braided stainless and it's associated connectors that are available.
I would think it would be much easier to 3d print "end" pieces where the existing item connects to the engine. Then go stainless hose between them with a manifold or junction connector where the other hoses diverge off of the crossover pipe.
Just spitballin' here.
I would think the biggest issues would be properly sizing the hose so it provided an equivalent level of coolant flow, and secure connections so you don't introduce another potential point of failure.
