Power steering lines on 67-72 swap

Ther have been a few threads on The power steering lines on a swap, but I cant find any info specific to the 67-72’s.

The “stock” gearbox has an 11/16-18 inverted flare female and the 6.2 crate pump requires that Earls extention fitting to get the lines past the pulley. I bought the Earls fittings (looks like it will work great) but because the inner fender covers the gearbox fittings, it doesnt leave room for the 11/16 to 6an adapter and a 90. I dont want to trim the fender at this point (almost done with the build). No one makes an 11/16 to an 90 degree fitting.

What has everyone done? At this point I think we’re going to resort to buying a stock 72 power steering line and using the inverterted flare fitting, building new steel lines to adapt to 6an.....

Any other suggestions?
