Right, I've done this now.
Although the braided line didn't arrive from Vagparts in time, I can confirm that the RS2 hardline plus the item shown in the following link do indeed do the job
Mike - the length of this braided line is 310mm. 700mm will be the full length of the line from chassis to caliper.
Although the hardline does not line up perfectly with the 996 caliper fluid feed, there's very little 'encouragement' necessary, so not an issue.
As has been said above, the pads can be changed without removing the caliper from the strut, but obviously this is not the case when it comes to changing discs and I'm not sure how comfortable I would be about doing that without disconnecting the hardline (and rebleeding of course), so I'll probably replace the entire lines with a braided arrangement when it comes to changing the discs.
