I don't think so.  I probably just clamped the hose tight to the copper pipe.  1/2" ID copper pipe is very close to 5/8ths OD.

Stuart, that Prestone kit I bought had three sizes of tees for different
hose internal diameters. The provided 1/2'' was too small. The 5/8'' tee
fit. I'm wondering whether there are different hose diameters used in 
different model years of Vanagons.
