Some people have had Pirtek make them up.
To fit them, a 1/8BSP thread needs to be cut on the spigot inside the displacer where the old hose is crimped on, then an adaptor fitting screwed on.
There is a thread here somewhere with details.

Nobody I know of can crimp new hoses straight into a displacer now as original, Dunlop used special tooling for that back then.

Have a look here http://members.tripod.com/austin_america/id63.html , just scroll down the page a bit until you get to the repairing section.
