Default Coolant Recovery tank pipe corrosion

I feel like I'm becoming a pain already on this forum with all the questions (sorry), but I have a part I'm now looking for.

On my coolant recovery tank/reservoir, the battery tray area is a little beat up and the metal pipe running underneath the battery to the tank is pretty corroded. I love that they decided to combine these parts, so I can't just get a nice new battery tray (the tank is in good shape).

But what about that metal pipe? I need a new one, as this one isn't going to clean up nor come out without damage (it seems pretty weak). Maybe I'm not calling it the right thing or completely missing something, but I see new tanks/battery trays for sale but no metal pipe part (like this 1996 Camaro Parts | G6355 | 1993-02 F-Body Battery Tray With Overflow Coolant Tank | Classic Industries).

Not new, but it looks to be in good condition. Here's a link.

Ah.. thank you for that. I'm not sure what I was searching for, but once I started searching for "93-02 Camaro/Firebird Coolant Overflow Hose" I've gotten some hits.

BTW though...that one, for example, is in better shape than mine. But you really can't buy one of these new?

The only replacement I've seen is just the rubber portion of this part. I believe the same is true for the heater hoses.
