It's just nylon tube as used in air systems.
Try a hydraulics supplier, who will sell it by the metre. You don't want much, or long lengths. Pay cash and it will be cheap; I buy 6mm bore for fuel lines for about £0.50/m.

Wouldn't mind betting something like this would work just fine: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/air-hose/4834914/

Obviously check the ID & OD of the stock pipework and find the right diameter there to suit.

Yes. but any decent size town will have several places where you could have it in the next half an hour. And not have the remaining 20m hanging around for ever.

The Red Baron has offered me some original Omega ones, including all T-pieces and elbows etc.. I'm just in two minds, if I can get is as cheap as it appears, 50p a metre or similar, I don't want to waste his time climbing in and out of his shed warehouse of bits getting the things.  :-\

Hoping to acquire some other items, to make it worth his while.
