  You might want to reconsider that.  Dad's pu has a HD, 2 1/2" braided 
stainless flex piece.  It's no lightweight flexible tubing piece!  I dunno 
what the internal part is but external is braided SS!  Due to the 
direction of the engine torque you'll likely break or crack something 
even with the toiletbowl operating.  Maybe not but keep an eye on 
the pipes.  Dad's did crack once and had to be welded back up.  If 
it doesn't hold then it gets a brace as well.  A snomobile type ball 
and spring union would work well too. :-)
