The thing about the advance ones is they are cheap chinese rubber that crack and fall apart usually in about 6-12 months. What size do you need, the tiny ones?

Well the only thing I can say is don’t expect them to be reliable on a cooling system. I wound up just getting oem ones because they use good rubber and last a really long time.
