Well, on the other side of the wall there's an engine with headers. I'd make sure the hose is of the high temp resistance type.

I think the fiberglass inner fender would melt/catch fire before the hose mounted on the OUTSIDE of the engine compartment.

I would still like to know what cars had fires................

I'd still like to know what Tom Brady said in his personal text messages about Deflategate, since he wouldn't provide them for the Wells Report.

Well, the guys at Hall Fabrication & Racing in Benicia, CA thought it would be a good idea to use high temp hose. And they've been working on Cobras (original and replica) for quite a few years.

I would call it precautionary, you know, like just in case you need two tall(er) rollbars. It's all personal choice.

The area between the inner fender panel and the foot box is the area that caught on fire. The hose melted from the heat and then dropped on the headers and started burning.

You guy's are welcome to do what you want with your vehicles, but when others try and help out with experience, you might want to listen to them as they have had that happen to them or they would not be telling you.




In this area the only concern from the heat is the 1200*degree brake rotors and these hoses work just fine. But when the hose goes thru the inner fender panel heat is an issue and cheap plastic dryer hose is just not acceptable.
