[DeTomaso] What mods are required to use one piece coolant tubes?

Mike,
 
    You are not an engineer and would not understand.

It looks like one or more mods are required to be able to install one piece coolant tubes under the car:
 
Making the rear tube support removable;
 
Making the under engine cross member removable; and/or
 
Making the under engine parking brake cable bracket  removable?
 
 
Comments?


Why on earth would anybody install one-piece coolant tubes?  I think it would be difficult/impossible to make the rear tube support removable, meaning you'd still have to remove the engine from the car (or at least raise it up substantially) to slide the pipes in and out.

Or, just do what everybody else has done, and use two-piece undercar pipes with a short length of hose in between.  Given that this is the common solution, why would you consider an enormous engineering undertaking to bypass it?
