You can make one out of pvc pipe. Drill holes in the pipe, cap one end and connect your filters return pipe to the other end. You can buy suction cup clips to hold the spray bar, same ones that hold heaters.
If you want to paint the spray bar, you can use krylon fusion spray paint. It's fish safe when cured.

You may be able to retrofit a replacement eheim spray bar, but they arent that cheap but they are available.

If im not mistaken (you may want to double check) the 406 hose is 17mm? Or close to 5/8" standard. Eheim stuff is metric too there's a good chance you could make one work. I think the eheim 2217 hose is 16/22mm ID/OD. You might get that to work with the help of a hose clamp.

Personally I'd just make one from pvc for a few bucks.

Heres a nice one a guy made for an fx5
