Default Fuel Line Routing for the Red Cube

Here is what I have come up with for the mounting location and fuel hose routing in my -6A (O-360). This puts the cube downstream of all the pumps and after the gascolator. It also keeps the line to the carb away from the hot muffler (I have a veterman system with mufflers).

Does anyone see any pitfalls with this arrangement? Better ideas?

NOTE: Ignore the fittings, I was just using what I had for mockup. Looking primarily at routing. I will also add something to help protect the cube from heat/fire.

I realize that the cabin heat dump is pointing right at the cube, but with the airflow through the cowl at speed, it probably won't be an issue. I can always add a small deflector if needed.
