Default downpipe melted PS rack hardline..replacement?

My downpipe on my PL kit melted a hole though the short hardline on the rack..(the one that starts in the center of the rack pointing up and goes over near the steering shaft..can a replacement be bought for this line?

Does it have fittings?

If so you can make your own hard line

Pictures would help

It's a high pressure line. Yes it's replaceable part from Nissan.

Definitely replaceable thru Nissan. I tried to make a custom line set-up for my friends '06 to better accommodate the Turbonetics set-up and OMG what a pain in the A$$. We ended up cutting off the OEM fitting and welding it onto a more common type fitting to use SS hose in between. The thread and pitch are unavailable to the common market (us). Nissan has done there part to keep that thread and pitch design under wraps, which makes replacing with anything other than stock virtually impossible.
Shouldn't take Nissan more than 3-5 days to source.
Good Luck.
