When next buying new flexi brake hose, keep the rubber caps which will probably be on each end and use them to cap off the end of a flexi if required. If capping the end of a rigid brake pipe, sometimes a good quality brake bleed nipple cover will do the job. Plus the plastic sheet across the top of the fluid reservoir. In the past I’ve fitted an old flexi pipe and used a hose clamp on that. I have a genuine Girling clamp acquired decades ago.

I'm pretty sure big red will refurb your calipers for you if you don't feel confident enough to attempt it yourself.
