Default pipe for Pug 406 aircon system

Just tried to order condenser high pressure pipe for my 2000 Pug 406 and
told it's obsolete. *******s. The existing one is leaking where the pipe
meets the flange that bolts onto the condenser. It's ali. Just trying to
figure out my options.

Obviously finding somewhere that has a new one in stock would be best but
Pug don't have a system for finding what dealerships have what items in
stock so it means phoning round all of them (and probably tooling off
across the country to pick one up if I do find it).

Or finding one at a breakers and getting it off without buggering it.

Or getting the leak repaired. Is it possible to weld ali? Where would I
find someone who can?

Or bodging up a different way of connecting to the condenser. (Why don't
they just use flares ffs?!)

Thoughts?

Ring an aircon specialist. It's just a pipe. They can make one.
