Exactly. But if they can't do it any neater without, I'm ok with it. It's a product of the material I'm choosing to use I suppose. If it was steel, it can be completely flush but there needs to be somewhere for a weld to go and it's going to stick out regardless. I feel like openings for plain hose routings are going to look sloppy and I didn't want the full internal guide the length of the whole tube for weight reasons.
Nope. If it's only ever going to be used for one thing, there's no point adding a feature which allows it to be used for another thing. Particularly when it's a bit fugly, if functional. I'm not sure it even does make hose replacement any easier when compared to a full internal stainless guide.
Still, if that's what the customer wants, that's what the customer wants.
