You can buy a straight fit one - but it is hugely expensive.

Can you weld at all? Even if your welding is poop you could tack one together and take it somewhere to be finished properly.

Do you have any idea how expensive? I could probably tack it together i just dred to think what my pipework would look like!

Just take it to a local welder, they'll probably do it for £30
