Exclamation Water hose issue

It's a GSL-SE with a 3row radiator... and now my radiator intake tube are about 2" closer to the engine and thus making it where the hoses for the car do not work at all, cutting will not fix the problem, I've look at that already. the top hose is not a problem, well, if i use a the bottom hose on top it works perfect, but on the lower none of the hoses will work. I have looked at "universal" hoses, but they are all way too long and you can't cut them. so has anyone else had this issue and what have you done? here are pix..

Use some wire or other bendable item and get a rough jig of what the bend would need to be, then head to your local auto parts store and browse their wall 'o' hoses. I have run several of those radiators on different cars with different water pump housings, and always have had good luck finding the perfect bend section.
