MG MGA - Caution -- Rear Flexible Brake Line

My 1600 roadster is fitted with 2 x 6 volt batteries as per original.
Whilst having a general fiddle around the batteries I caught my hand on the corner of the metal battery clamp
next to the flexible rear brake pipe(near the fuel pump).
The corner was sharp as hell. I then noticed a mark on the flexible hose caused by this sharp corner,presumably when the axle is hopping up and down. No damage as such but left unprotected it could possibly lead to a failure at some future time.
Worth a quick look fellows next time you have the battery cover off.
