HELP! GSL-SE Oill Cooler on 12A Engine

Please Help!

I am replacing the original 12A Oil Cooler with a GSL-SE Oil Cooler but the lower fitting hose doesn't connect right. The hose gets "bend" as shown in the pics. What should I do? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks Much!!

GSL-SE's lower end fitting is facing down instead of straight like the 12-A. Either get a custom line or get a 12-A (btw, I have an extra OC if can trade with you

go to racingbeat.com - they sell steel braided hoses and adapters, maybe they have something that can fix your problem.

Thank you all for your help.

Racing Beat's braided hoses solved the problem.

Thank you, TopGunM2K!

wackyracer, thank you for your offer!

mazdaverx713b, relocating the oil cooler to the SE's location
will be the major construction. The set up is totally different
between 12A and 13B so I took easier way by replacing hoses.
Thank you for your suggestion.
