high pressure fuel line leak help - who can fix this???

i'm back to an old problem. i developed a leak at the rubber line
connection, to the fuel rail itself, some time ago and made the 'basic'
hose clamp repair and that held fine until the other day. when i began
moving the fuel hose, a leak developed at the rear fitting (to the
hard lines - the female end actually now twists and pulls slightly
apart from the crimped portion). i've since taken the fuel rail off
and taken it to several places and no one can seem to repair the
hoses because of the fittings used.

without any advise here, i'm down to considering hose clamps on both
ends of that hose and possibly on both ends of both hoses. first
question, does anyone have any thoughts on where to get this repaired
properly? i'm in maryland, north of baltimore. second, would a hose
clamp actually produce enough pressure on the rear hard line without
crimping that line (much thinner wall thickness than the fuel rail
hard line). i desperately need this car back in action!!

thanks for any ideas up front.
