Hard lines are usually safer and less prone to deterioration over time. A 3/8" hard line attached to the frame will be plenty, but some guys insist on using 1/2" hard line (you know, bigger is better routine). If you want to use -AN braided hose and fittings to connect to the tank and to the mechanical fuel pump up front, there are -AN braided fittings available to adapt braided hose to hard tubing. Since the Cobra wheel base is 90" you should have a significant hard line run of at least 84". In my opinion, hard line under the chassis is just safer but should always be routed in a protected position and secured with padded clamps. Of course, any hose used should be certified for use with fuel.
