Just use hose clamps to replace the factory aluminum crimps. And i would look for some soft copper tubing to use for the pipe. You could bend it yourself and it will be easier to find than stainless tubing.

If you get the soft walled copper it is much thicker than standard water pipe copper. Either is plenty strong and will last longer than your car. I would much rather spend $20 on copper and clamps and make it a permanent repair than $150 for a part that will fail again.

Go to McMaster and search for copper tubing. You can buy a foot of 1" and have it shipped to your house for under $20. Easily bendable and if you order this morning you probably will have it tomorrow or two days at the latest.
