Need NOS Smiths oil pressure line

Folks:
   
   I am hunting for the steel braided oil pressure line that goes from the engine block to the copper tubing of the the Smiths oil guage. The line is about 8" long (20 cm). The engine connection is a pipe thread and the connection to the copper tubing is a compression nut with an olive inserted over a piece of tubing crimped to the end of the steel braiding. The original brand was Petroflex, and there was a small yellow band on one end of the braided hose indicating this.
   
   I have seen them on Austin Healy 100M's, and I believe they were also used on late Bristols and early cobras. Mine now leaks, and makes a mess of the engine bay.
   
   I have photos I can send via email if anyone has mercy on me and thinks they can help.
   
   Thank you!!
