(Home) Wanted - coolant pipe

My Townace has a leak (sounds like everyone's does!) from a metal pipe encased in foamy stuff which seems to go almost right across the bottom of the car, almost the lowest thing on the vehicle. My Toyota dealer tells me the part is no longer available (yikes!) Its only a weep, but obviously it wont stay that small for long. Does anyone have one lying about, or can I just get a bit of half inch copper tube from B&Q and some jubilee clips?
thanks everyone
Mark
PS my first visit to the site - very impressed

And had the pipe been available I expect you would be on oxygen right now! Also not quite true as the pipe is available but he would have to make some effort to get it.
Bit of tube or hose, clips and you are home and dry.

Mine went a couple of years ago. Made a new one from copper pipe and a pipe bending tool. 5 bends in it! Painted up with hammerite and still going well.
