Need help finding a brake hose that will fit

Hey, this isn't on a truck but I hope that's alright. I put a rear disc brake kit on the back of my model a project and the the supplied brake hose has a straight banjo fitting end on it. Problem with that is that it runs straight into my rear leaf spring bracket. So the big question here is does anyone know of a rubber hose around 12-15" long that has a 45 degree 10mm banjo fitting on one end and will accept a 3/8-24 brake line fitting on the other? Or maybe an adapter or something that would work? The thought of trying to bend the one I have has crossed my mind but that just doesn't seem like a good way to go. Here's a pic i took of the caliper next to the bracket and the supplied hose

Have you got a local motorcycle shop? They may have what you need. Also look in the Russel hose catolog for parts to make one up. If you have a high pressure hose supplier local they may be able to make you up a new one.

Thanks for the ideas, i didn't think to look at the motorcycle side of things. I see some options there for sure. Might check into getting one made as well. Appreciate the help!
