I tried that first, it seems to work OK. The problem I encountered was when
making a necessary sharp curve it kinked.
I ended up using parts of two hoses, and connected them with a 1.5" OD plumbing
pipe. A chrome plated brass tube actually. The kind you might find under your
sink. It turns out that I was able to slip it entirely into the two hoses I
chose for this application. So now the section that is rubbing on the frame and
the oil filter adapter is brass lined!
