Radiator Hoses - Made to fit

Has anyone found or used a supplier to make hoses that fit the M52 to the e36 radiator (aircon model) correctly?

I don't like how much of a kink is created on the standard 328 hoses.

Cheers, Ryan.

The E36 hose just needs a bit cutting off the end

I've done that but I'm still not happy with it.

I looked for ages for a donor hose off another vehicle and didn't find one to fit. For now, I've put a T-Bolt type hose clamp on the cut-down E36 hose where the bend is to keep it nice and cylindrical. Seems to do the job nicely.

Think I'm going to do a bit of digging.
