Get a local motorfactor to do it for you ... that's a motorfactor not Halfords. The fittings are commonly available and the hard part is actually bending a pipe that short without kinking it.

As above, I just measured one with a bit of string, then called into my friendly local garage who do all our families MOT's. They made them on the spot and didn't even charge me! I bent mine round a bit of bar to avoid any kinks. It may seem a specialist job to DIY mechanics like us, but its a daily job at a garage.

**E D I T- if mine were anything to go by (an early 1984), then the pipe to flexi union will be stuck tight, get soaking with plusgas now!!!!
