Gas tank cross-over pipe

Listers,

On my way to the Northern Alberta All-British car show, my Tiger was
rear-ended. Please don't ask how an Acura caught me from behind: obviously I
didn't notice him. My bumper support was pushed into the metal pipe in the
corner of the (lower) gas tank cross-over, causing my (full) gas tank to
spring a leak. Setting aside the clever arrangement that puts a 2 1/2" pipe
full of gasoline immediately behind the rear bumper, is there a source for
this piece? If it matters, it is the driver's side pipe.

Also, are the front and rear bumpers are interchangeable on Tigers? They
appear very much alike: I have a spare bumper but I'm not sure if it is
front or rear, or if it matters.

Thanks,
Michael McBeth
