Brake line figment after rear disk conversion

I have just completed the installation of a Baer big brake kit (conversion from original drums) on the rear of my 70 4X4 and I am ready to order and install new stainless brake lines. But, obviously the bends on the ends are going to be landed in a different location now. I really like the idea of getting a pre bent kit as me bending anything is guaranteed to end up looking like a small child did it. I have tried to bend transmission lines in the past and after about my 10th stick of tube laying next to the vehicle I bought a pre bent one. So the question is, is there by chance a prevent line that will go to the disk caliper or do I buy one for the drum and just gently correct the location of the end by hand?

Inline tube prebent lines for rear discs fit perfectly on my 67.
