Damaged fuel rail

I damaged the drivers side fuel rail on my 86 460 just in front of where the return fuel line connects. Anyone know of a good source for a replacement? Do any other engines share this style rail?

I can't see the damage but if it's leaking after the pressure regulator then it's low pressure and maybe you can slide a piece of hose over it and clamp it.

Thanks, thats just what I did. I took a hack saw blade and carefully cut thru the tube and then gently separated the return tube from the other tube in the rail slid the hose on and put a high pressure clamp on it, although I know the pressure it pretty low on that side.

I'm new to this forum. I've seen posts from a guy NumbersDummy on here that are really great and if you could contact him he can probably let you know what other engines use that fuel rail. That is, if you want to make it right.
