York leader hose

It's my understanding that the leader hose for my Air Commander (york) is braided to help dissipate the heat coming off the compressor. Is there any reason I cant hard line this hose. I know I'll need to keep part of it flexible between the frame and the engine.

Re: York leader hose

I don't see a problem if you have enough flex in it to allow for the engine the twist a little when under load.

Lederhosen? October is a ways away, but I'm always down for a beer party.

Re: York leader hose

you may be down, but I'll never be down to wear a pair of these, no matter how much beer you give me.
