Yes - think so... I have an old one I was going to use as a template to get more remade but have yet to arrange it... different inner diameters at both ends.

I've seen them repaired by cutting out the damaged / split section and then sleeved with a small copper tube.
I think they often get damaged by rubbing against the droplink to anti roll bar upper attachment.

Has already been repaired but is becoming quite perished, not leaking as yet but wont be long i suspect, i have 1.9n/a bottom hose but no good, think a trawl round the breakers mite be needed to find something that could be adapted. Not been rubbing or fouling on anything just old and tired.
