I think the main condemnation of the mode is simply how it looks; it looks very iffy.

While it is clear that the mode needs tighter ID hose and T Bolt type clamps to make it better; how would the worst possible thing happen?

2 clamps hold each end of the hose on so I doubt if it is possible for the hose to slip off.
The hose has a 300 psi working pressure which is more than double the actual Oil pressure so the hose it self is not going to burst.

I guess it could leak under the 2 clamps but I coated the barbs with Silicone Sealant before I slid the hose over the barbs; no leaks so far.
