Think I would rather take the old one to a local brake specialist and get a new one made. More conveniant, less time, and usually less cost, plus the part is not 55 years old which on a flexible pressure line may be another consideration.

Thank you to everyone for the suggestions. As far as fabricating a fresh one here in Canada the dilemma is that the style of fitting will proably prove to be non-standard (however some clever research found some modern equivalents for the fluid passage bolt on Ferret fuel tank lines).
Is it just me or was the Humber Pig outragously over-weight with all the add-on armor plate? I cut off the thick roof plate to trim the weight a bit.

Heavy? well they were called a Pig for a reason! I have some stats that the pig weighed more than the Cargo, but had higher road speed and better economy, so work that out. (there was a change in ratios somewhere). The suspension does tend to rock a fair bit which accentuates that heavy feeling.
