The kit I got for my truck came with elbows, IIRC there may have been 45s and 90s.

Send that picture to Leroy in an email and I think He would add the necessary components to his kit to make it more adaptable.
He may even mail You the components.

I know the measurements to get the elbow fittings, im actually more pissed at what i accidentally just did right now
No leaks or anything but I am so upset, I really just HAD to accidentally bend it, its not fully bent, and again, no leaks, but ffs such an amateur mistake

This. 100%. The high pressure hydraulic line like used in heavy equipment that is multi layered will never kink, take decades to wear or fail.

Ever since I changed the lines, after 20 minutes or so I smell oil from the cabin, no, no visible leaks.
o washed the entirety of the engine bay and underside aswell since so much of it went everywhere during the swap, probably the most oil and gunk free that bay has been in a minute

The smallest amount of oil on exhaust will burn off but smell up a storm the whole time.
Keep an eye on pressure gauge and frequently check oil level after this type work just in case.

Copy sir, so far guages show readings as it was prior to like changes, no leaks though, its nice having oil free fittings for once

Wonder what would happen if You used pliers and sort of squished that section of hose back to round again ?
