'72 Midget Vacuum Advance Line

Hello, Everybody -

I usually hang out at the Austin-Healey forum, but I also have a '73 Midget with a '72 engine. Does anyone know where I could get the hard plastic line (1/8" O.D.) that connects the distributor advance to the intake manifold? I have the end connectors, but need the line between them. Seems that the connectors are available, but I can't find a source for the line itself. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Never mind. It occurred to me that the vacuum lines in modern cars for such things as cruise control are about the same size that I need for the Midget vacuum advance line. I found what I need in a local junkyard that fit the end connectors for the vacuum advance line exactly.
 
Well found!
