Looks like you have room (with one brake pipe fitting in the master; no adapting) to bring the forward brake line up then back and down behind the others. Essentially, the bender will have the fitting in it to start the bend as close as possible to the end. The nut can still spin as needed on the brake pipe. You could also rotate the elbow down on the tb a few degrees for a little more clearance if needed or shim the power booster across the bottom holes to raise the front of the master.
I think the port at the front of the master cylinder isn't even an outlet, but either way you've convinced me not to machine the throttle body. I didn't realise you could bend brake line that close to the fitting

Wow, that thing is insane, there is no chance anything like that would be road legal here in Australia
I had a little time to start on another small job that doesn't make a lot of noise in the garage - fitting the fuel injectors. I have a set of 640cc Siemens Deka EV1 injectors from a previous project, but the problem is they use a 14mm o-ring rather than the 11mm that the standard 1uz uses.
The lower manifold is easily modified to suit, the 10.5mm injector hole just needs to be drilled out to 11mm to clear the nose of the EV1 injector so the o-ring seats on the manifold.
The fuel rail needs to be drilled out to 14mm to fit the new injectors, which seems simple enough as the 1uz fuel rails are machined aluminium rather than cast. There is plenty of material to drill them out however they're machined on a slight angle to match the angle of the injectors. I'll need to figure a way of holding them securely for drilling in the milling machine, but it looks very doable.
