EP3 brake hose problem

Has any one had a problem with HEL/Goodridge front brake hoses being too short and incorrect banjos?
I've ordered two sets now (marked as EP3 fitment) but both sets are too short for the front and the wrong banjo.
Mine is a 2001 EP3 and needs a 90 banjo for the front. Both sets have been ordered through uk companies.

Just fitted a set of HELs to my 54 Facelift EP3 without any problems.

Do you remember if your new hoses had the 90 degree banjo for the front calipers?
On both sets the banjo has been around 20 degrees and hose noticeably too short.

Nothing wrong with standard lines. Send them back and spend the money on more worth while modifications.

Definetly not 90 degrees, but have gone on a treat! They were exactly the same length as the standard pipes.

They're the same as I received.
My originals look like this
