transmission cooler line repair/replace? 900 1995

While replacing the radiator on my N/A 945 today I put a pretty substantial twist into the bottom transmission cooler line that runs to the old radiator. I'm pretty sure that the smaller of the two hex bolts rusted to the line, which made the line twist with the bolt (and fail).

So, does anybody sell replacement lines? The 3 online places I normally look didn't have these metal transmission cooler lines.

My other thought was to leave the old line in place and just attach a rubber
"patch" fitting running from the good part of the old metal line to the transmission. It'd just be a ~6" run and I think autozone loans out the tools. Bad idea?

Any advice appreciated!
