2003 Boxster 2.7 Broken Fuel connection

Don't know how, but during the moving / removing of the engine sometime the plastic quick-connect on the end of the fuel line broke! I just noticed it putting it all back together and am VERY thankful I found it before installing engine.

Anyway, it appears that this is completely made to the fuel rails! I can't believe they did that, and it doesn't appear to be the case in earlier cars as mine is a return-less system.

Can anyone think of a way to repair / replace this? I'm going to the shop again now to get pictures and to see what options I may have. I can't believe they would have made this all one piece!

If anyone has one, please send me a PM. Looking to install ASAP so please let me know what you have and how fast I can get it.

BTW - I have GREAT information about the rebuild of a 3 chain engine now. This was BY FAR the most frustrating part of my rebuild (aside from the ridiculously complicated design of the whole engine and the fact that this car only had 24k miles on it before total IMS failure).

Thank You,
Patrick Harris
