You could replace with stainless, and add fittings.
You could also go to a junkyard and try to find the equivilant.
Or you could post up something that's barely readable on Honda-Tech.

Proper sentences with capital letters at the beginning and periods at the end go a long way in getting good responses.

I just had the same thing happen from what you explained. I snapped the fuel return line in the fuel pump assembly.
You can get a new one online with a new pump attached for around 260. I assume you are talking about the stiffer piece of galvanized metal attached to a rubber hose on the drivers side of the tank. It's best to detach this return fuel line which goes directly into the pump at the rubber hose connection. Insert the whole fuel pump assembly and attach in to the tank with the tank out of the car. Then slide it into place and attach the return line, the fuel feed line and the wiring back up. The new assembly comes with new wiring. Slide the tank in farther and attach the filler and breather hoses, the filler is a pain to get back on.
Website is here for the part.

The part it sounds like you broke is going to the top of the picture then curving right.
