if the 85 worked why not use another on the other side?
The brake hoses have a very different Left vs Right configuration.
@OP... I replaced 2002 with 2012, I ordered hoses for 2012 and they fell right in place.
I can think of a few fixes...
Adapter Fitting. A place like NAPA has a collection of brass fittings. Bring Old and New, see if they offer a match up.
Replace the hard line on the chassis. That comes with the risk you can't match the other end.
Be sure anything you do stays out of the way of the tire.
Hope someone who's done an earlier model already figured it out. CarringB did his 2000 E350.
Post pictures. Maybe it'll trigger an idea from someone.
