The good thing is the tubing can be replaced with ordinary 1/4" steel brake tubing which you can buy in premade lengths at Napa -- although finding the exact length of the originals may be impossible. It is possible to use shorter or longer lengths by creatively bending or rerouting.

If you need to buy another tube make sure to read the labels to be sure to get the nuts in American thread, not the metric which is frequently mixed up or hanging on a peg next to the American. You or your mechanic could also make a new tube out of copper tubing.

Except for the 4 way brass fitting used on the bottom block port where the oil filter is fed via the front side port of the 4 way, the other fittings are all standard items available many places. If the 4 way is what is damaged that will require either a parts car or possibly Kanter, Ross or Max might have one.
