Normally my google-fu prevails, but I can't find anywhere that sells pre made sections of 5/8" steel or stainless steel bends.
I need to fab a tight clearance turbo return line. This Turbo Oil Drain Fabrication | Sinco Customs | Sinco Customs shows them using similar bends, but they don't sell them.
I've cut up and rewelded old a/c lines many times for things like that. No suggestion on new though.
In reply to stagen :
Why not bend your own? Buy a 5/8ths tubing bender and have at it? Or do you need a really tight radius?
Brewing supply places may have sub-1in stainless tube. This place does some custom bending (but really big bend radius): https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/sstubecustom.htm
A quick look on ebay (combinations of "5/8", ".625", "stainless", etc) turns up some butt-weld pipe fittings from China, or other stuff that might be usable.
Industrial tube-bending places like Eagle Stainless could certainly do whatever you need but it would be rather expensive.
How about these?
There is a smaller version at Ace Hardware. But it does not do 5/8.
Looks like butt weld sch 10 pipe not tubing.
I have made some of these drain adapters out of SS tubing with AN ends but they don't take to bends well.

Well? Did you manufacture a new part?
Check with an auto shop that does a lot of AC repair. They will have old hose assemblies in the dumpster. Many AC return lines are 5/8".
If not there., they may have hard lines already made up, or they may have straight tubing and a bender.
