I also have a set of mudguards to fit but I need to find a solution to work around the disc brake as they won't currently fit.
Right, head clear, nice and sober, back to this.
Normally with hydraulic, you don't need to bend it that much as the caliper body is much smaller than a cable operated one that stick out like a sore thumb, I would advise bending the stay carefully with a vice, other have done some result like this;
The best solution I find that work flawlessly when I had a BB7 is simply getting a longer bolt and a long washer from Clerkenwell Screw, it's much more durable than it look;
edit - see below, can't link picture in Microcosm
If you can't be arsed trying to find a very long washer, then a threaded bolt with a couple of nuts work just as well;

@Howard The brakes are Avid Juicy Ultimate - I will only be using the front one and it can only be an improvement on the current set-up.

And for all the haters - here is a picture of the hack, basking in the sun:
