I had some pretty tight angles to manoeuvre and it looked like I would need a lot of hard line bends and many hose clamps...too many potential leaks. I bit the bullet and drained the wallet and bought a couple of "cool-flex" hoses. Pretty expensive but they are bent into some very tight curves, no kinks and no leaks....they look the part as well. Being made of the copper bronze stuff you can feel the heat through them and know when the thermostat opens etc.
