I hate hard brake lines :(

Done a perfect bench bleed of my resleeved master cylinder, go to shove back in the Brumby and the fuggin' little pipe nuts won't thread in nicely underside of the MC due to some tweest or tension of the hard line that then goes to the junction box bolted to the chassis.
Not wanting to bugger any fine thread on either pipe nut or MC, I try removing junction box securing bolt to chassis to give a bit more flexibilty. STILL no bloody go ! I resorted to undoing bhard line at junction box, screw in MC end and work backwards. Stopped off to bench bleed again in between, bled all four wheels in correct order, the nipples on MC TWICE! now - BEATEN, beaten by flippin' yuk feel of brake fluid, brake fluid getting in more places than should...getting cold and dark. Body just hates bending over std Brumby height for too long while hands and brain deal with a bloody hard brake line pipe nut. And still have sheissenhausen pedal
rant over
might go see if a flexible rubber hose can be made with pipe ends ??
brake fluid ...ICK !!
