does it have a thread at all on the pipe? or is it pipe clamped?

if you are desperate find a bit of hose roughly the same size block one end, us a bolt don the tube and clamp it then clamp it onto the block

I cant say i've ever noticed the fitting and cant make it out from the pics clearly enough to jog the memory

but if it has a thread then chances are you can get something from a hose/fitting shop to block it
if it has no thread I can only assume it is pipe clamped on?
In which case the bolt in the pipe might get you out of trouble for wa while

good luck!
