I usually just buy premade straight properly sized lines and bend as needed. Its not too hard to custom make them either with s rather inexpensive flaring tool set.

I used a 6 inch piece of fuel hose with a slit in it so you can slide it on the hose . Seems to work good and doesn't kink the line only difficulty is it sometimes slides off when bending .just have to go slow.

I used a set of stainless lines when restoring my '52 GMC 1/2 ton from Inline Tube and they fit perfectly.

Stainless steel lines from Jim Carter fit my 52 chevy 3100 off frame restoration perfectly just a very minor tweak or two.
