Dunno if i'm being dense, but all the rear brake hoses seem to short.. i've got the shitty copper pipes at the moment which are leaking a treat.
Do they fit onto the yellow end or where the actual copper pipe is at the moment? 
Cheers

the copper pipe in that picture is a metal pipe as std.
You could convert it to a rubber pipe but i fail to see what advantage you would get, apart from having hassle getting it to stay in position.
If you want a new copper pipe then take that one off take it to any garage and ask them to make you up a straight pipe either that length or slightly longer then bend it to shape yourself.
Any garage (certainly anywhere that does mots) will have a flaring tool for doing the brake pipes.

That is a new copper pipe that I fitted a few weeks ago. But like I said its leaking one side, will try tightening the nut up tommorow and see if it stops.

its not a "random bit of copper pipe" its a copper brake pipe just as good as what vaux sell if fitted correctly for a fraction of the cost!
