Just out of curiosity I looked on Ebay, found this: 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MGA-MGB-MG-MIDGET-CLUTCH-HOSE-NEW-GHP517-/110938532270

They say they have two left.

I had a hose that blocked on my B, held the clutch disengaged.  To prove 
it I opened the bleed screw momentarily, watched the throwout fork release.
