You may have to buy a straight piece, and bend it and flare it yourself. Not a hard job, with a little patience.

It is braided stainless, it is flexible, like a faucet supply line. It is badically a hose wrapped with stainless steel mesh. Cut to length, put the two fittings on, and good to go!

You are pretty much confined to bending one yourself or finding one in a junk yard. They just aren't available. Inline Tube may be able to help, but you may need to supply the proper length and details. I'm not sure.

I have a bit of solid tube at each end with modern rubber gas line between for now. Once I convert to Fuel Injection later this season I will be bending custom lines.

I used this opportunity to buy the metal ends and install a metal in line fuel filter between with short rubber fuel hoses to connect them. That gives you the flexibility to make the line fit. The extra filter always helps.
