Hard to find ac hard line?

Hey gents, looking for recommendations to find this line or something that would fit as a replacement. From the research I found..its a discontinued part #1409457 liquid line. The previous owner of this car ripped out all the underhood ac components and Im replaing everything new..but cant find this line which has multiple holes and kinks in the line. Anyone got a spare or know where I can get one new preferably would be great.

I've been looking for the same for quite a while. If you find a used one, pay particular attention to the portion the steel strap straddles for the mount at the frame rail as they tend to rot there.

Any good "tube and hose" shop can replicate that line.
You can usually find them in larger cities in industrial areas where large equipment repair shops are.

I never would have thought to check eBay Canada!

Sadly, it only has the single port, so I'm probably going to wait to see if mine can be repaired. I need the pressure switch port for my pressure transducer

Im sure if you could have your line repaired, they could add a port to this new line. Sadly shops around me want a fortune to make the line and its a dying art apparently. Cheaper for me to buy this line even with shipping, duties tarrifs

I mailed mine away last month, still waiting to see if they can even repair it. If they can't, I'll ask about the additional port.
