Dude made me a custom power steering hose but it was wrong because of my screw up. He made another free of charge even though I told him I'd pay twice.
I didn't have any luck finding a place near me in Minnesota, so I own one of these now. Available for loan if needed.

Too late for you now, but for future reference: Dealer Automotive Services in Hopkins does custom a/c work. They're a good shop, I've used them in the past. https://dealerautomotive.com
Too late now, but most mid-size cities have a hydraulic hose supply shop to service heavy equipment. These places will make up whatever you want, and it's usually very reasonable. I take my brake hoses to the counter and ask them to make them in braided, usually about an hour and $15 per.
Had our local place make custom AC hoses for an engine swap - took the compressor to evap / condenser hoses for both donor and chassis for reference and they made new custom hoses for about $100.
Hydraulic hose crimpers crush the inner fitting about half the time in my experience.
If you come up here for radwood, bring the bits up with you and ill get my guy in Charlotte to make them.

Thanks. I'm in Rochester, and I called everywhere I could think of. The parts stores, the industrial hydraulic shops, the heavy truck shops. They all told me that they could not crimp barrier hose for R-134a.
The Mastercool setup is nice, FWIW.
