PTFE tube in Filament-Sensor Cover specs?

Hi all,
Halfway through assembly of my Prusa MK3, I realized I couldn't locate the PTFE tube that goes inside the filament-sensor cover. Not sure if they forgot to include it in my package, or if I lost it (very possible). Emailed them about it but they seem a bit slow in responding, so I figured maybe I could make it myself. Anyone happen to know the ID, OD, and length of the tube? Also from the picture online I cannot tell if there is anything special about the tube, such as a lip at one end or something else which might make it harder for me to make myself. Any help is greatly appreciated!

It looks like standard bowden tube for 1.75mm filament.

It's approx 12.5 mm long and is chamfered on the inside of both ends to help guide filament into the tube.
