Default BMWZ3 high pressure power steering hose wanted

Hi
The high pressure hose assembly between power steering pump and rack has stress fractured at the pump end meaning I need a replacement. It's shown as No3 here


and is part number 32416754173 which fits all the 6 cylinder Z3s except Z3M. I've repaired it once by brazing a couple of months ago but obviously that didn't last.

Does anyone know for a second hand one or a supplier that charges less than BMW?

Many thanks

Thanks for your replies.
Unfortunately, I think the pipe will be too rare a seller for GSF or Euro to bother with, and I've already tried Pirtek and a few other local hose specialists but they can't make the double flared end on the steel pipe used by BMW (and VWs etc).
Brazing held it together for 4 months but it's a pain to keep doing that!
