oil injector lines snapped/gasket question

while pulling them off the LIM, they broke rather than slipping off like I had hoped. They broke really close to where the connect, can I just use the remaining line and hook it onto it's original nipple of should i run all new lines? Also, where can I get those metal clamps if I can't reuse them.

Also, I was wondering about gasket paper being used between the LIM and block or should I just order a new one? Only reason I'm asking is because all the rest of my parts should be in early next week and I'm very antsy to get the car put back together and running after all the work that's been done to the car lately and I'm not too stoked on more set backs

Thanks.

Your best bet is to just order a new line from Mazda.

You can repair the old line though. Go to the local hydraulic shop with the fitting and then get plastic tubing and crimp rings to match. Then just assemble new lines using your fittings and the new hose.
