Breaker is a good bet.
Dean at Rutland or Dick Sloane.
Some people have had them made up by hydraulic hose specialists.

As you've been advised, do try Rutland MR2 or Dick Sloan.  They are specialist roadster people.

I don't know how the 'dongle' crept in.  I didn't type it.  At, least I don't think I did....

I got the pattern ones off eBay for about £80 in the end (there was a tiny bit of surface rust on the union so they knocked another £20 off). I see they've ramped the price up since

That said I would echo the reccomendation to go to a breaker - the pattern one unions are a different design to the stock and needed far more tightening than I felt necessary to achieve a leak free connection.

Replaced mine last year with a set off eBay. Cost £99 from a seller called "dapartz". Think they still stock them but the price has gone up a bit.

At one time a " dongle" was a must have for those wanting to connect!
