I also agree. That was my original set up. I had hard plumbed everything from the fuel pump to the carb except the small hose from the frame to the engine. It basically made the hot starting problem come back. So I went back to my original set up with the .25 phenolic spacer, Holley aluminum heat shield, pressure regulator at the carb splitting off to each bowl and insulating the fuel lines down to the frame. I also made a bracket to hol the fuel line up from the manifold. The braided lines alone are way more insulated then the stainless hard line. Below are my pics. I forgot to add if you look closely at the back of my air cleaner I had to grind it down as it was hitting the back inside of the hood scoop!
