I am about to begin the project of replacing
my center tunnel gas lines next week. After
reading the Pelican tech article many times,
my questions are:1. Is there any major benefit to using the English flared fittings and braided flexible lines at the ends of the metal lines, as opposed to using quality cloth braided rubber gas line hoses which are clamped at bothe ends? (I realize the braided lines would have better "burst" resistance.) And 2. Does anyone have any more "tips" from their experience with this procedure?
Note: I called Pelican parts to order the "kit" of parts for this procedure (as descibed in the tech article), however I was told they no longer offer the kit due to liability reasons.
Thank you in advance for your advise.

Regards,
Keith
