Sure thing. The U is Gates 19666. The L is Gates 28467. You can find the nearest retailer near you here:

The 5/8" to 3/4" reducer is just a standard hard plastic reducer you can get at any auto parts store. Same goes for the hose clamps.
Since everybody thinks that this is a difficult job (wasn't that difficult, just frustrating), I am completely redoing the heater. I am going to order a new heater hose, and have a shop weld on 3/4" fittings instead of the 5/8" fittings that normally come on the US-spec car. Then I will order a metre of Samco 3/4" Superflex hose and cut them to length.
I'll keep you guys updated of how it works out.
