Which one??? I have a rigid pipe that goes over the top of the axle spare that you can have for free + postage if it's that one.
If it's the flexi's, they're only pushed on bits of rubber pipe - you're local motor factor's couls sort something out to replace them, I'm sure.
I can't help with the rigid one on the driver's side radius arm though.

I've only got the part that runs over the top of the axle.
It's from an axle I bought from the breakers. They cut is elsewhere and as I have manual hubs, If needed I would just block mine off if the pipes broke, but as they haven't, I've left it alone.
Where has yours broken exactly?

Is it a flexi or a rigid that's broken though?
If it's a rigid, the easier and cheaper option would be to get one from a breakers. Trying to find a Jimny being broken locally can be tricky though, so keep an eye on ebay for one being broken near to you.
You could try CAM Suzuki on ebay. Cameron has posted on here a few time promising excellent service as it was not the best before, however, despite this promise, others on this forum have found his service to be below par.
He will however have the bit you need.
Alternatively, call Rhinoray - see his website for his details, or Darren at KAP Suzuki as they often break Jimny's and have various spares about their workshops and they will definately not mess you about and are both really nice guys to deal with and both know their stuff.
Or Rob at Off Road Armory might have what you need. He must have bits left over from the build of his Jimny Trayback and others that he has built that do not use Jimny axles, so have bits left over. Again, a nice guy who won;t mess you about and knows his stuff.
I'll have a look at my spares tomorrow to see if I have the bit I think you are talking about and if I do, which I doubt, I'll let you know and you can have it for the price or it's postage.

The vacuum hubs are a nice luxury but at £150 for such a small spare I think it would be manual hub time on my Jimny for certain! You could also try a local garage who will maybe be able to get an after market one for you that just doesn't say Suzuki.

No chance of getting a pattern one of those! There's no demand. Twill have to be second hand.

I've just been in the garage as I had to do some bits to the Mrs car and I think I have everything in the way of vacuum pipes that attaches to the front axle, rigid and flexi pipes, so I may well have everything you need.
Had to come in as it's got dark and I'm up at 04:30 tomorrow so I'll look at them properly tomorrow and take a photo and post it here - looks like you might be in luck though!!!
Like I say, if it's what you want you can have it for as much as it costs me to post it to you!
Where are you by the way?

Sounds like kirkynut has sorted it but from what I recall when being under the front end the pipes are about the same size as brake pipe.
A whole coil of brake pipe and some p clips would be a fraction of the £150 quoted by the main stealer.

Why not go with flexi tube all the way, just get the right size internal dia rubber or nylon pipe, If mine go/ when thats what i'd do,
wont cost what the vat is on the £150 lol
