I went to my local motor factors today, they don't do all the brake unions i need. Now I know i can get them from burton but .... is there anywhere else?

Also, whats the best way of connecting flexible hoses to the rigid pipe? I was going to put a large female on the fixed pipe, run a nut down to the clamp the bodywork then screw flexi into that. My worry is how i connect the other end of the flexy to the brake pipes without twisting the flexi when i screw it in.

You clamp the flexy with a locking nut then connect the other pipe to it. If you google for brake unions you will get loads of hits. I'm looking at brass unions for next time.
