I think mine are OK for now, but is there any reason they
could not be replaced with rigid copper tubing with
soldered joints?  I once made a fitting like this to
install a mechanical temp gauge on a Rabbit and it
seemed to hold up OK.  You could put foam insulation
on the heater lines and leave the cooling pipes bare
or painted flat black.
