AC pipe needed.. any ideas?
Discussion
Thanks for the replies. I had a new Mishimoto radiator radiator fitted recently, and if possible I’d rather take the rad out once more to remove the old pipe and fit a new replacement - rather than remove and wait for a new one to be made up if possible?!
Failing that if an oem isn’t available then I won’t have much choice. I just thought I’d first test the water so to speak to see if any are available anywhere off the shelf still!

You may be lucky and find an OEM one, but I don't believe these have been available for a while now.
I did see this on Facebook a few days ago, I know it's at the other end of the pipe, but the problem is the same. might help if you can get one in the UK?

Most air con pipes are of a standard size, it's a bh that it's split so close to the fitting though as these things can be spliced. In my case I've spliced other bits of pipe and found that the splayed ends can be salvaged from other cars in scrapyards.
If outtadrally has the end you're looking for, a splice can easily be done to your good pipe running vertcally and the corresponding un split corner and fitting on his.
Failing that, do what I did and find a volvo or Mitsubishi in a scrapyard and take what you need,
Not the same area, but you get the idea.
