Replacing just the hose on a Dyson vacuum cleaner

Any ideas where I can buy flexible hose for a Dyson vacuum cleaner "by the metre" - ie without end fittings?
Genuine Dyson replacement assemblies are expensive (£25 plus) and generic ones get a significant proportion of bad reviews for poorly fitting end mouldings.
The obvious thing to do is to replace just the hose. There is a good instructable (MSE won't allow a link but it is easily Googleable: try "Instructable fix a Dyson Vacuum hose") showing how to take one end cap off (and I am guessing that the other end will be very similar) - which is fine if your hose has a split near the end.
If your hose is split nearer the middle, you need a new length of hose. But where can I buy decent-quality stretch hose that will fit the Dyson end pieces? My model is DC14 but I am pretty sure that a whole family of Dyson models must share the same hose diameter.

I have used Qualtex branded Dyson hoses with no quality problems, I reckon the replacement hose was equivalent to the original.
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
