Default Brake reseviors and lines too hot

Hello all;
My kirkham has the 3 can set-up for brake and clutch fluid. The cans are on the drivers side mounted on the inner fender well with high pressure hose going to the master cyl's, just under and behind the headers. The heat from the exhaust is so hot, the fluid in the resiviors turns brown, and has in the past turned the seals in a master cyl to black mush. There is fire sleeve on the lines and the headers are wrapped, but it all still gets too hot. There is no good place for the resiviors or lines to move to in the engine compartment.
I saw what AC Ventura did on the "nice panels" thread, so that is one option.
Anyone else have this problem and found a cure ?
