Difficult to find Plumbing Parts

I recently picked up a Reef Octopus Triple Recirculating Skimmer. It's missing two small pieces that attach the recirc pumps to the skimmer. Here are some images...

Here's the skimmer.

And here's the part that connects from the input of the recirc pump to the union on the skimmers bulkhead.

Anyone have advise for where I can find these rare plumbing parts?
 
You might want to contact Coralvue who imports Reef Octopus skimmers. Looks like an elbow and a union, but those will be in metric sizes which stores normally don't carry.

They are metric, not sure where you can get them locally. You may just have to order some stuff online. I said that I was looking for metric plumbing parts to this older gentlemen at Home Depot and it was like I insulted him and his mother. I ended up getting a rubber crossover with hose clamps on it.
