It was a fiddley job and in retrospect probably better to get the flex shaft and just drill the hole to widen it. But now it's done, I'll just buff up the area a little to tidy it up before I install the new longer brake line.

Cable guide
Well I started to modify the rear brake cable guides on the frame to accept the hydraulic cable. Its not a hard thing to do but the angle needed to access them made it a bit harder. A simple solution would have been to get one of those flexi shaft for my Dremel, but since aluminium is relatively easy to drill I just slowly widened the cable guide out with a engraver cutter tip.
There are 3 cable guides on the frame, but only two of them needed widening, here's a close up of one of the two problem guides.
