The factory hard lines usually had a fairly sharp bend close to the end instead of using a separate elbow fitting.

Right after I posted this I noticed the flex line was threaded! Guess I should have looked first. . I have a bunch of spare 1/4” line and the fitting off the flex is 3/16 so I’m gonna try and find an elbow or adapter to run my 1/4”. This should take care of the problem. Now just need to find a jam nut. Our chassis didn’t have any lines so I’ll be making a trip to the store again.
