Don't have enough time to fix all the seized rear brake unions or replace the feeds to the rear so any ideas on how to isolate the rears completely. Before you say just brake clamp the flexi's on the rear, I only had one as I went all savage on the other. Can I just squash to copper pipes to stop the flow?

The winning idea gets an ice team at PVlol

Get two old male/female ends which ever you need and squash the pipe on them together then join them to your existing pipes.

Remove unions from master cylinder and replace with bolts? It's not safe to drive with out rear brakes tho surely

get new pipes made up at the motor factors, & get all medieval with some mole grips on the old unions.

Just to explain what happened, i snapped the coppr pipe off the old unions where the copper meets the rear flexi on the beam.

I found a place today that could make up an inline (olive jointed) assembly with a normal brake end to connect to the new braided. I never knew they did an inline joint with olives, see below;
