This is a way to hold the thermostats. I think this was an Australian made (McKay?)hose for some flathead V8 application.
Anyhow, if you go to an automotive hose supplier you can usually buy appropriate bends and join with a straight tube. You can also add a metal ring inside the hose to hold the thermostat in place. This would require an extra hose clamp.
