The pipe has two metal ends. One has a knut, the other a banjo bolt type loop. The hydraulic pipe is crimped onto these ends. It's not far removed from agricultural type stuff. Assuming someone has the right size crimps and tools it's not actually that difficult a job to do, but I know some people worry about car stuff
A new bit of pipe would be cheap and easy, it's IF the crimps are the same size, and the person has the tools. I'd have investigated more, but.... I went down the ebay second hand route as £35 inc £5 extra for fast delivery was the quickest, easiest way to get my main car back on the road.
