Default Brake Lines Help Needed

As aboveive currently got braided brake lines for my std caiplers (st170 caiplers) but im going to upgrade to high spec 4 pot caiplers and i dont really see why i should spend £700 on the kit from them when it only costs me £300ish for just the caiplers and brackets as im using the same size disc, Now the problem ive got is my current lines wont fit the 4 pots as thay have a diffrent type of fitting,

So my question is are there any fitments out there that i can fit onto my current brake lines to make them match the ones needed for the caiplers?
Or could i just cut the ends off my curent lines and fit these?

I know im sounding like a cheap git but i was just wondering where its just a smiple £6 fix or £130 for new brake lines :/

Dont cut the lines, thats bodging and dangerous, the ends are machine pressed for a reason, to stop leaks. Get the correct cable and fitment from ebay/breakers, FSP (Ford spare parts, google it) are pretty good for things like this.
