No way to know if stuff comes separate, my separate ones where OEM I think.
But why would the hose not fit? Take off lever, be careful not to loose all the oil, thread through fork, cut off a small bit of hose (I use the yellow blocks and a fresh cutter blade) use new olive (not always necessary) reattach.
Have brakes, maybe.

Yeah sorry I’m not clear at all in my question.
Both my 105s are shot, leaky pistons and I’m changing to flat bar as well.
I suppose the question is can I just use the existing hose with my new caliper as the fittings won’t go through the hole in the fork. If not I’ll just use a heat shrink tube over the fork leg to hold the hose in place. It’s no biggy, just trying to work out what to do before the bits land, but they shouldn’t be on the doorstep when I get home tonight so we’ll see. The last MTB style hydros I got came with everything attached I hadn’t thought they would come separate hmm.
