The proximity of the tubes doesn't concern me for two reasons:

1/ Heat will tend to rise from the pipes, so only radiant heat is a factor, mitigated by airflow. Note that the plastic-coated metal clamp still looks OK.

2/ Hot fluid doesn't flow into the master cylinder except under rare conditions. Namely, only after a major system leak has already occurred. Otherwise the hot fluid stays over a foot away.

Don't Worry. Be Happy!
