Good question....here goes.....

I would have approx. 2ft. of flex from the fittings on top of the tank down to where I could start a hard line, then approx. 2ft. of flex at the firewall from the end of the tube up to the regulator. Only leaves about 3ft. of hard line in the middle. (Remember these Cobras are very short!) With the extra fittings necessary to go from hose-to-tube then tube-to-hose, it doesn't look like it would be worth it to eliminate 3 ft. of hose. The additional fittings would also create more potential leakpoints...and expense (Have you priced -8 hose/tube fittings?)
