Before you embark on making a new tube, have you tried removing the dent? If the tube doesn’t have to look pretty maybe you can squeeze the tube back open in a vice or by using "vice grip" plyers. I good source for usable aluminum tubing is in discarded refrigeration equipment. especially old de-humidifiers and freezer coils. be aware that most of the de-humidifier coils have a plastic coating on the outside surface that must be scraped off.
Also, that cooling system relies greatly on the syphon effect, any air leaks from loose joints or fittings will adversely affect the water flow.
