Hmm, all my under dash tubing is plastic -- oh wait, that's because I have a later model. Well, easily solved, go out an buy a later model! :) I'm currently using 2 1/4" (I'm pretty sure) flexible carb preheat tubing on my right side (product testing...stuff is working just fine). Stuff looks like mini clothes dryer duct tubing. It hose clamps directly to the fan housing and easily withstands the heat and air volume (5,000rpm bursts don't seem to phase it). Got it at Baxter Auto Parts store. For stiffer tubing you can get fiberglass impregnated carb preheat tubing at your FLAPS. I used this for *years* without it coming apart. Very hardy stuff, worth the cost!
