I'm using the M42 radiator with my M50 swap.
Any spare hoses I have lying around are no good as the 90 degree angle needed to go from the engine to rad top causes an awkward kink.
What have people used here?

Judicious snipping of M42/M52 top hose and strong jubilee clips. - It's a slightly tighter bend than standard, but not really restrictive. Especially if you take a bit off the other end to open it up slightly.
...or is it?

My local motor factor found me a 90 degree bend that I cut to size on both arms,the bend is a little tighter than the E34 tope hose.
