REMOTE OIL FILTER HOSES for a 2395 288 ci

Hi All,
First time poster, longtime restorer. Just bought a 2395 (First Packard)and the remote oil filter (Fram) was in the trunk. Found two 5/16" holes in the forward d/s cylinder head (288) surface. Which fit the mounting bracket. Correct? the supply and return hoses were cut and destroyed. Plugged at the block fittings with screws through the centers. Classy, huh? I have had lots of experience with remote oil filters on Chevys, Studebakers, Franklins, etc. but the mounting locations always allowed for shorter hoses than this location. Does anyone know of a source for the longer supply and return lines required for this mounting location? I am going to bend hard lines for now but would prefer flexible high pressure lines if a source can be found.
Thanks,
The Rustjunkey
