Fittings For Sierra Handbrake Caliper?

At present I have straight fittings on my Sierra handbrake calipers which foul 13" wheels.

I would have gone for an angled banjo, but I don't think the casting on the Sierra caliper is flat enough to get a decent seal with the copper washer.

Anyone else encounter this... and what kind of fitting did you use to get round it? Any recomendations for a right-angled low-lying fitting?

I had this issue so replaced the rear hoses with new ones that had a banjo fitting with 20 degree bend. I used copper washers and have had no issues.
