Lol. Lucky I didn't see that before I made mine, it might have influenced me. My problem being the flexible part options were limited.

I will keep thinking about alternatives, I'll look at PVC hose as you suggest. The plan is to change the engine again next year so I will see if my solution holds up or if I have to come up with something else.
There is still some movement possible, the tube is just sitting in the bracket so it can move a bit. Time will tell.
