Did it come shipped like that, I mean ripped? If so, I'd try Lowes or Home Depot, you'd be suprised what you can find there. Half of my NOS hardware came from Home Depot. Anyways, I'd try to fit for at least now, and then give your provider a call... Good Luck!

Check the plumbing and appliances sections, they usually have couplers for dryers to toilets that will fit.

not sure the car was at my parents house in SC and i was in FL and he wanted to fix that before i drove the car down here but i think he looked a few places then emailed them cause he couldn't find anything and they said they would send it to him free of charge but it took about a week to get there.
