Default Pan connector for tight fitting?

I've got a bit of a problem with a close fitting toilet pan, it was

A combination of a straight connector, and a 90 deg was too long, so I
had no choice at the time but to fit a flexi, which seemed to work well
enough.
Now, 5 months later, the flexi has got a kink in it, causing a slight
blockage, due to being bent rather more than it is designed to, so I
need to sort it out.

The one in this pic would be perfect:

Would something like:

with a straight extension in the socket no do the trick?


Unfortunately not. I've tried all combinations of fittings, and the one
I linked to is the only one that comes close to what I require.
A normal 90 degree would fit fine, if, the pan connector bit was around
40-50mm longer.
It is just too tight to fit a straight connector into the 90 deg., and I
cannot seem to find anything suitable.

I did fit a similar one a few years ago, and used a Roca connector,
which would be perfect, except no-one seems to do them any more.

Oh well, maybe time to hack one up in the garage.
