Default radiator hose fittings for civics with b-series

The only radiators i can find on ebay are the ones for a normal civic with a smaller hose diameter. A lot of people just use hose clamps over the radiator, but would it be better to just get a normal (smaller) civic radiator hose, and just stretch that hose over the inlet/outlet on the engine? Would that work okae? thanks

I did it on my old hatch. I put some hondabond between the two pieces of hose to make sure it didn't leak. It looks much better than a squeezed up hose.

you need the del-sol lower and 94+ integra upper hose depending on what b-series motor you swapped into your car. Good luck trying to fit that thing onto the inlet/outlet of your swapped motor. I use to run the puny honda hoses when i did my swap and i realize that water temp was building up, besides it leaks.

what is the best way to fit it over the smaller inlet/outlet of the radiator? Just hose clamp it down?

for the del sol radiator; much more cooling efficient for the beefier setup.
