Snyders sells such a thing as part of a heater kit:

A problem to watch out for is that inserting a metal tube into the upper radiator connection eliminates a lot of flex, and can be the dickens to install or remove. I tried and abandoned the Snyders deal, after sawing it off to shorten it as much as I thought prudent. Maybe you can do better.
