1988 2.1 Caravelle

I'm leaking petrol from the steel pipe that goes from the flexi at the filler end to the fuel tank (runs behind the shock absorber). Can't seem to find them anywhere, anyone got any idea's? Is there a pattern or drawing to get one made from? 

Thought I found them here http://www.vw-t3-bus-shop.de/en/stainless-steel-tank-filler-pipe-powder-coated-unlock-vw-251201135f but he has none in stock for the foreseeable future.

Bodged up with leak filler, so it's all a bit shit at the moment.

Cheers

Took it out cleaned it up and painted it, it’s quite thick walled, might pay you to get it off and have a look at it, there’s a fair chance if you have a hole it’s possible to weld it up

Do you have any local small exhaust manufactures or fabrication shops that could be an option?
