Mr. Johnson:

In this case the quickest, safest, least expensive action to take will be
to visit a hydraulic line fabricator, like a large automotive brake
component rebuilding company. They should be able to make up a
replacement hose quickly, possibly using your old fittings. I don't know
about your midget, but on MGA and MGB, the fittings are BSF, so your
local parts house won't have it.

I can't imagine why Moss or VB doesn't stock the item. Did you call them?
They want $28.00 for the line for MGA-B, while our local brake co. will
whip one out for $10-$12.

Good Luck,
