PS Hose Issue
Hey everyone, so I brought my original PS hoses to a custom hose shop to have them make new ones using the old ones. The pressure hose from pump to valve is all done and looks good, but they were unable to replicate the original return hose from valve to isolator mount (they said their machines were unable to make the tight bends required).
This is where the problem lies. I have been looking at replacements, but different companies offer products that they all say will work but they all look different to me (with none of them looking exactly like what I've got). At the bottom of this post I have included links to the products I found.
Car is 69 coupe 351w fmx. They made a hose the best they could, but it didn't look like it would work. This is why: the original hoses that the car had fit well, but not perfectly. The return hose from valve to mount doesn't seem to have sharp enough of an angle (the metal part) to locate the other end of the hose correctly in the mount. Making the rubber hose longer wouldn't help either (we tested it).
Long story short, what am I looking for here? I ordered new ones from NAPA a couple years ago that were "direct replacementt original" and...well you can guess how badly they fit.

(Note: I understand that the 2nd one eliminates the fittings in the middle of the return line, but look and see how different the bends look between all of these)
