Needing a couple to replace wire reinf.pvc thought unsuited to engine coolant & finding std. cooling hose kinked badly when bent as needed + wire reinf.exhaust type hose wouldn't fit over the (slightly non-std) fittings.....found that Halyard Cerambond divison, 6 Westfield Ind estate, Horndean. PO8 9JX tel. 02392 593979, could make them.
Either made to measure for dia. & bend or almost smooth bore wire reinf. that is very very flexible w/o kinking & fitted with soft cuffs at each end to allow fitting onto pipes.
Have to say they did the pre-bent one slightly too large dia., so I 'phoned & they said "bring it back". By the time I arrived ,say 30 mins later, a replacement had been made & just needed trimming & cleaning.
Not cheap; a short custom size/bend was £30, 18" of flexible reinf. + cuffs -£10, all + vat, but if you're stuck, they're highly recommended...seems they supply some of the big boat builders too.
