Metal oil cooler line split

Driving onto the base (edwards AFB california) middle of no where my oil light comes on. I pull over to the side of the road only to see i have oil all over the front left of my engine. Wait a hr for my friend to finally get me get some oil for it fill it up.. turn it on and i have a steady stream coming from the bottom of the cooling line. The line split on the bottom. So now im looking for a FMOC kit.. I dont know where any junk yards are or ide just go and get a 2nd get FMOC so does anyone know if there are any complete kits (FMOC, and the lines) that i can order. I know im gonna have to get the oil filter pedestal from respeed. Thanks for the help guys.

OK so i temp fixed it by cutting out the bad section and replacing it with rubber fuel injection hose. Wont hold long but i can go the few miles to work every day so crisis kind of averted. So now im looking into getting stainless steel lines made for it and im wondering i found banjo bolt adapters here Link and i was wondering what is the fitting size of our banjo bolt. If i get the correct fitting i can just buy the racing beat stainless line and use it to adapt it to stock setup till i collect all the stuff i need for the FMOC swap.

Thanks for all the help so far wacky
