Plastic water connecters.

Hi all
I have had one of these cabin type showers for a while which recently sprung a big leak. It's an EAGO model for which I can't find a uk or european dealer (shower was already installed when i got the place)

The connection is plastic with a plastic nut to tighten the jet against the shower wall, the back of the connection has a small inlet protruding at the top and one at the bottom (which runs to the next jet). A small diameter flexible (but stiff) pipe is pushed onto the inlet and outlet and a plastic tightening clip holds it on tight.

The inlet has snapped inside the plastic pipe and isn't repairable. Are these connections standard? What should I be looking for? I don't really want to have to replace an entire show for the sake of one plastic connection.

A picture and approximate size would be unbelievably helpful here...

I know mate, I know

Unfortunately I didn't take a picture at the time and the shower is now 600 miles away again!

I managed to solve the leak by turning the inlet pipe around and being lucky it was the last jet so no outlet I could plug and tighten the pipe.

Kicking myself I didn't take a picture!

part A116 in this pic is close to what I'm after. Parts A114 - 117 seem to have the rear connection to what I'm trying to describe.
