I have heard that TK's stainless tubes are very nice.

Over in SubaruVanagon Land there was a very interesting discussion on the
electrical properties of various metals, the upshot of which was that copper
would degrade the aluminum of the engine through electrolysis, whereas
galvanised steel electrical conduit (1-1/4 " dia) would be fairly neutral.
There was at least one owner who had replaced both of the long tubes with
the stuff.

 I'd like to do it myself if I had any time !
 I don't have a lot of confidence in the plastic ones
