Oops. Need PTFE tube and clip - where to get one?

OK - I'm an idiot.

So now that's out of the way, where can I get a new PTFE/Teflon tube for my extruder and probably slightly trickier - also the little clip that holds it in place?
Looking on Prusa's shop there's no sign of these parts, nor indeed a complete extruder assembly (if all else fails).

(Next time I'll read the comments as well as the instructions, my ham handedness managed not only to kink the tube trying to get the extruder out but also breaking the clip that grips it in the extruder).

Thanks Joan.

I think I've found suitable replacements - although the clip I found might require a little 'engineering' work on the heatsink to get it to fit.

(I didn't realise you had to log into the shop to see all the goodies.)
