Brake lines hitting front tyre

Just noticed, that my flexi brake lines touch the front tyre when on full lock. I've had the caliper off this morning and trying to find away of curling the line the loopy bit stays between the wheel and body of the car.
The solution that worked the best was a complete loop in the middle of the flex line but this gets pulled quite tight on full lock.

What has anyone else done?

Mine are quite long but controlled by being clipped to my cycle wing supports. Without this they would touch the tyre.

Might help with a pic.

I welded a steel tube to the upper mount of the upright. Passed flexi throught this hole.
This keeps it in check, yet didi not reduce availible movement.
