AN fittings / Braided clutch hose help

OK, so I'm replacing the stock plastic clutch line that goes from the slave to the master. Old piece started leaking at the slave connection and noticed it was a little closer to the header than I liked. When I installed the new line, I THOUGHT it was plenty clear, but something must have moved during install, and let's just say I'm forced to do it over, and I'm lucky I didn't burn down my car and my garage!!!! Going with a braided line for durability, but mostly so I can route it to my liking. Not much give in that molded plastic line.

So! ....adapters are readily available to convert to a -4 line, and Earl's makes an affordable premade line in a gazillion different lengths.

Here's my issue. The adapters are all straight, or 90* bends. The hose ends that are offered are all straight or 90*. I want a 45*. ....this means that I need a 45 adapter to go between the straight hose and the straight fitting, OR I need a hose with a 45 hose end. While I'm sure these are both available, I can't specifically find them. Anyone offer any help finding these?

I either need a shop that'll build me a line that I can spec, or a -4, 45* male/female fitting.

Found one.
Russell Part Number: 799-614704 ....or even better, Earl's PART# 924104ERL

...they're called adapters which is why I couldn't find 'em. Adapter sounds like NPT to AN or one size to another. Never bothered to look!
