[DeTomaso] Under car water pipes

[asajay at asajay.com]

This was my basic thinking Jack.  But I've also seen vendor kits that  
contain one long tube and two short ones, just like original.  So I  
just keep wondering if there was a reason.  Any good engineering  
reason?  I'm all for four short pieces with a short section of hose  
connecting them.  It would be much easier to R&R with the engine in  
the car.

I have no objections to cutting the long one in two.  If I'm going to  
do that, then I want to make sure I have replacements ready.  And  
then, I'll need to make sure my replacements are two piece for both  
runs.  Not a big deal really but I find it interesting that one side  
is full length and the other in two pieces.

Just one of those things to keep you awake at night.
