At the very least, reinforced coolant hose 1 1/2 inch dia, split and forced over the frame.

Foam pipe cushion and collant hose are great solutions.

Thanks,
Foam pipe cushion and collant hose are great solutions.
Might be better to keep metal coolant hoses away from contacting the foam and tank; how about zip ties, or as someone else suggested, electrical tape?

The advantage to coolant hose is the fabric reinforcement in it. Won't wear through as fast.
And also perhaps better tolerate the heat.
