OK, I am done, I hope PICTURES

Bending the tube on the 73 correct hoses has been done but be warned, it will crack away from the square banjo block if bent there. Also bending it upward to relieve some of the hose stretch can cause it to rub inside a 14 inch wheel. Seen that too. Looked fine until the wheels went on.
I think a longer hose that doesn't have the metal tube is a better plan than buying and painting another pair of calipers.
