Oh wise ones of the forum...
Just took off my front calipers of the get them refurbed, and on one side the little length of hard line that goes from the connector block on the strut to the caliper did that thing where it twists with the nut - so it's screwed now
Not sure I can be faffed with remaking that little length of hard line when it doesn't seem to add a lot of value (especially when I don't have the tools to do so). Presumably I could replace the six inches or so of hardline with a short braided section with the right connectors? Or even better still, replace the whole lot with a longer braided hose from wheel-arch coupling all the way directly to caliper, which would seem optimal to me (if properly secured to the strut) as it avoids two extra connections, and potential leak sites, on each wheel?
But is there some reason why this shouldn't be done? Some sort of MOT regulation or convention why the last bit should be hard line?
