When I measured my hose and sent it to Tom to have it cut I apparently sided a little too far on the side of caution, or at least I think so. I didn't think the cube and fittings would take up as much space as they do. Will the hose be ok with the bend it has now in it or should I have it trimmed a little bit more. If I leave the hose as is it will have the straight in and out as per the instructions, it will also have a nice place to rest after being wrapped in fire sleeve between the scat tubing. However in this position it has a preloaded force on the hose which I'm thinking might wear on it over time. If I shorten the hose a bit or a lot it will lose the straight in and the nice place to tuck it into but I'll feel better about less stress on the hose. Any thoughts, thanks,

Nick

Probably a tad long--

but not as bad as some. We we get the measurements for the hoses, (flare to flare, or end to end) I have to assume that the accessories are in their fixed location. Even moving the cube 1/4 inch up, down, or sideways, changes the overall length, and routing of the hose.
It doesnt seem like it, but small changes can make a big difference in how all the accessories are plumbed. Tom
