The problem with these pipes is that the fittings are what many people (even here in Europe) have called "non standard". I've been round all the places that I know of - hydraulic shops, air conditioning places, farm / plant machinery places, automotive specialists etc etc etc trying to find these fittings and I have not managed to find reasonably priced replacements. Fine thread metric stuff in weird sizes with weird end fittings - I think I'm going to have to find some aerospace suppliers...
