I thought I would post more photos of the under-fender hose routing currently completed. I used 18 gauge galvanized strap from my stash, sleeved with clear plastic tubing for the support clamp brackets. All grommets are from V.A. I used split loom conduit for armoring the hoses. The A/C hoses are heat shielded in the engine compartment.

Second pix.....are you not concerned about road debris and other foreign object damage (FOD), from damaging the hoses??? Usually the refrigerant suction hose, coming back to the compressor, is un-insulated to allow for super heating of the refrigerant to prevent liquid slugging to the compressor......other than that, clean installation......

I did armor the hoses as I noted, and I believe you are referencing the heat shielding on the suction hose inside the engine compartment which I felt, needed protection from header radiant heat. I don't imagine the split loom conduit offers much heat retention inside the fender well. My thinking. Thanks for your concerns Bob.

I'm going to run mine like that too. Plus the wiring.
