I think it will almost be impossible to find a 90 degree number 10 boot. I would personally use a ring terminal, apply heatshrink tubing over the crimped portion to prevent water intrusion into the wire, and coat the terminal with dielectric grease.

Heat shrink won't prevent water intrusion into a crimped connection because it's crimped and water can and will wick up the end of the wire that's exposed.For that sort of connection if I haven't gone the distance and SOLDERED the terminal on, I use a heat shrink that has a sealer in it, or coat the end then put the heat shrink over that to help seal it.

He has said he wants it to look original, so I doubt he's open to a ring terminal held on with a nut and dobbed with grease............
