You really dont want to do that with the front brake, get a proper remote resevoir.

I regularly substitute the rear res. with a clear plastic tube but would never consider it for the front......fluid expansion when hot and faster pad wear at the front needs a resevoir with belows that will allow for fluid movement whilst isolating it from moisture in the atmosphere.
