Has anyone melted through the coolant lines going into the heater core on an FD?

Just curious.  Even with a bracket to help pull them away from the headers, they're awfully close to touching.  Has anyone had any issues with radiant heat either making the lines brittle or melting through them yet?

Four years strong... No issues...   Though I did cover mine with the orange thermal hose covering, so that may help
