I'm almost finished flaring my car and when I removed the tubes from the charcoal canister that thread through the rocker supports back into the engine bay the old brittle plastic pretty much disintegrated in my hands.

I'm assuming I can use any similar ODi plastic tubing, does anyone have any suggestions on what they've used to replace this?

And, do they really need to thread all the way underneath the rocker into the engine bay?

I'm guessing they routed them that way so any fumes were released behind the cabin rather than in front of it, so the driver didn't get a lung full.

But given I never drive with my roof on I'm not too bothered about that, so other than that, are there any cons to me running much shorter tubes into the front fender and terminating them there?

I have the tubing and the factory hoses needed to replace back to the engine compartment. All 10 hoses $64 fits any car with charcoal canister in the front. Shown as 1-10 Plastic shown in gray
Neatly packaged and labeled.
Just starting to go into production on these but if you call Kenzie at the office she can get it out.

@mikey914 --- ^ emailed you today and Mackenzie says you don't carry the above. Is this correct?
