Subject:Rubber hose to replace the metal coolant pipes

Sorry, still working on this project.

I found the red hose locally.  They call it
heater hose.  The largest they can get in an
uncut length is 1".  Someone earlier stated they
used 1 1/8".

Is 1" sufficient flow?

How did you install it?  I first was thinking I'd
need something to connect from the oem hoses to
the replacement red hose, that is the red hose
replacing only the pipe.  But then I thought the
red hose could go all the way from the engine to
the radiator.  No messing with those old hoses or
some makeshift connections.

Any thoughts?
