Default Radiator split, advice please

Hi guys, my radiator on my 53 blob split a few weeks ago up near the rad cap which I fixed (well I use the term "fixed" very loosely). It will need replacing as it has just started to weep coolant again.
My questions are. Can someone help me find the part number for a replacement radiator and would it be worth replacing all the hoses while I'm at it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi mate, thanks for the quick reply, is that an all alloy rad? Where are the hose connections? Is it bottom corner and top middle?

Or get one off ebay, they are OE standard.

DEFINITELY replace the top hose and both clamps for it. The bottom hose ought to be OK, mine is the original one, now 15 years old
