Thanks all,

Those lines do look tough but they'll clamp, i used a small G-clamp though i don't have Brembo's. I did look at changing the flex's too but the further back the car i looked it didn't get any better, so i cracked the nut and twisted the caliper, it's really awkward but worked. I heated the flare nut with something similar to this


I did end up borrowing a friends brake pipe tool to remake one of the pipes but it was a copper one not the flexi.
