know the feeling

get a new one!.........

you might be able to get your local brake place to make one up using the ends from your old one.....if your lucky the may be able to make some sort of "adapter" piece to get it fixed quick

otherwise try VVDS, i got one of them, very nice.........make sure the grommets in the firewalls are good or replace them, so you don't wear the new one through.
