That would seem to simplifiy this considerably. As long as the lines are kept away from high heat (which they should be anyway) and that the pressure is not too high I don't see a problem with hose instead of metal tubing.

I had mine made at a Hydraulic shop. I had these made up after a rubber hose line came undone 16 miles up in the mountains camping on MT. Charleston outside of Vegas. 107 degrees outside and we walked out. I did the measurements, and told the guy what I wanted them made for. He cut and built me a set of heavy duty ones. Rubber coated steel braiding. The ends are pre-bent at the tranny and radiator, and thread right into my tranny cooler also. I then ran solid metal lines along the frame.
It's been so many years ago, I forgot the cost. But it seems it was in the $50.00 range, for the four of them.
