The closest option I've found to our C900 hoses is this VW Beetle paper hose.
https://www2.cip1.com/vwc-113-819-723-a/
The material construction is exactly the same. The hose that came in the mail was actually longer than specified in the details of their website, so I thought I may have to use part of the old OEM hose to increase the length, but apparently I didn't need it. I actually bought four hoses (two for each of the 900s I'm rebuilding) and all four hoses were long, so it wasn't a random "one was long but the real ones are short" glitch.
The only small issue is the inner and outer diameters are super close but slightly larger than OEM, so I notched one end out for the vent output nozzle end to narrow it slightly and secured it with HVAC foil tape (from Lowe's/Home Depot). I'm planning to use a small bit of the old hose to make the heater-core connection input perfect size (like a sleeve) and again use foil tape for securement onto the plastic nozzle.
The pic attached shows the OEM length on the left, an absolutely obliterated OEM hose in the middle (my temper got the best of me), and the new replacement hose on the right I still need to cut to legnth.
