I realized after I bent these that the lower radiator hose also has to squeeze through this space between the battery and the frame. Seems like these might be in the way? Or at least, it would be better to maximize space is this area. I've seen other similar routes, though not exact. I've been using pre-flared lengths from the kit and parts store so far, but I'm about ready to throw in the towel on that and just buy a 25' kit of NiCopp and related tools to make my own.

Not a real good pic but I ran mine in the same location. It's a tight fit.

I mounted mine under the top of the frame, down the DS and across to the passenger side.

I used a flexible radiator hose for the lower and then connected it to some aluminum tubing.

You maybe able to sneak by with one of the flexible hoses.

Thanks for the input. I ordered a a roll of NiCopp, I'm just going to rethink my front routing a bit. No sense in having stuff in the way, making other things difficult, if I don't need to.
