[urq] Fuel Pump to Accumulator Tubing

The fuel pump has given up and last weekend was removal time.

Having read the procedure provided by Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.co.uk/quattro/fuel_pump.html , and despite the cautions around removing the banjo fitting at the pump, I managed to split the tubing connection between the fuel pump and accumulator.  The part is NLA so the options are to find a used one or to repair.  Anyone have one they no longer need?  The tubing is black plastic (nylon?).  Does anyone know a source for the correct tubing?  Is fitting the metal end connectors as simple as heating the tube and pressing the connectors into the tubing or is special tooling needed.  It's a pressurized fuel line so has to be done right.
