Master cylinder replacement woes

I understand, I can see from the two fittings that stripped that the brake line is somewhat fused to the fitting and would most likely twist out with the nut. I also see that the twisted wire is most likely fused to the brake line also, this is up in the Seattle area lots of water and rust not so much salt I dont think but still a problem.
So if I cant get the wire off and I use preformed lines with fittings already installed it becomes a moot point to try and install the twisted wire anyway.
One more fun surprise after another!
But that is part of the "joy" of restoring right? yeah right!
Thanks for the input.
