My question is more about the ends...... if you run a short section of rubber at the ends to connect to the rad and water neck.....do you need to put some form of flare etc to stop the hose from shooting off or leaking ?
NO... get your tubing to within about 1/2" of the connection point. There's really no pressure trying to blow the hose off... if you get close fit up. Also -- see my post to Lenie. You want to use a heavy gauge stainless so you don't deform the tube when using the hose clamp... etc. Don't use tinfoil grade.
