Flare fittings to Master Cylinder

The flare fittings that attach the brake and clutch lines to the master cylinder on the Bugeye are not reachable with a flare wrench because the MC is recessed into the body/inner fender.
Is there a special tool for this?
If I use a box end wrench at an angle, it seems like a high likelihood of stripping the fittings.
 
I purchase a flare wrench at autozone that had an offset large enough to work.
 
I pulled the 2 bolts that hold the master in place when I worked on the lines.
 
I've got one that is flexible AND has an offset.
